My usual response to them is "do you ask your doctor how to fix your bike" ? Some of them get an "ah ha" moment, some just think I'm rude...lol

Good fishing technique trumps all.....wish I had it.
Everyone's looking for the magic bullet that will let them be 18 forever, then you come to an age where you realize that ain't gonna happen and you start trying to make the best of what you got. Memorial Day weekend I got pseudogout in my knee. Hurt like the dickens. One of my buds advised me to take some extract of black cherry, he swears by it for athritis (not RA). I'm still looking for some. I figure I've used up at least 2/3 or my life but want to enjoy the remainder to the max.

I'm thinking that 1/4 of the people on that forum may have health issues, and they worry about how biking may effect their health. With that assumption, they probably just want to connect with others who bike with health issues. I have a Schwinn classic bike, and high blood pressure. I like biking, but 30 minutes wipes me out enough to wonder.

Avast ye swabs, stand by and prepare to by hijacked...
Uncle Jesse,
Fresh, dried, and canned cherries are helpful in reducing arthritis pain and inflammation, even for RA.
You can even eat the dried ones while riding a bike, if you're coordinated. <he typed, trying to drag the thread back on course>

It's a killer ride.

I was visiting a friend the other day and he said " Isn't it funny how we use to talk about fishing and hunting and now we talk about our health problems " maybe it is just a sign of the times.

Like I said it isn't health problems that affect biking. It's other stuff. I guess I just think health problems are a private thing and best left to the advice of someone in the field. Like fishing. I wouldn't ask my Dr. what presentation works best for catching trout under certain conditions(unless he/she were a fly fisher). I doubt I will ever ask a mechanic about my health problems or burden them with the conversation . Plus I hate it when people talk about health problems. Hey, let's talk about something...........FUN!

I wonder if those discussions are just part of the "social" or "community" aspect of that board similar to the discussions on the FAOL Bulletin Board regarding personal or family / friend's medical / health issues, prayer requests, birthday wishes, tragedies in someone's local news that don't even involve the poster, etc.
I don't find those topics / threads interesting or fun and pretty much stay away from them. But a lot of folks do enjoy them and Deanna and Neil endorse them so they are entirely appropriate material for this bulletin board.
