Because on the bike you don’t have that impact of foot to ground?

That makes perfect sense! So now I shake my tiny fist at gravity.

The awesome ortho PA told me (and later I checked, and studies back this up) that every 1 pound of body weight lost reduces about 4-6 pounds of pressure on the hips. That's wild, but again, it's gravity, man.

That makes perfect sense!

It does but it's still wild what hurts and what doesn't. For me, biking has been bad since I hit a two-digit age.
