    Great just what everyone needs (three times) an article about a lit
    review.

    Nice to see that the argument was couched with "there had been little
    empirical study," then go right ahead and "review the lit."

    Yet another "study" (it's a lit review) that is priceless ... if that
    is the same as worthless.

    But remember folks all mountainbikers lie.

    It's a positive article about mtbing in a mainstream newspaper, I
    think that's worth something.

    Thanks for telling the truth. It's like pouring salt on a vampire:

    No, it isn't. It's a bit of propaganda by an editor about his own
    dishonest article.

    Just having fun with the triple post, BTW.

    But ...the Rocky isn't really mainstream.

    I will agree that it is a positive article. Too bad they try to draw
    conclusions from a lit review. Kinda comes off as more arm waving,
    than scientific method. I am sure that ol' Doc recognizes the
    similarities to his own lit reviews.
