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.

R

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.

This is the first I have heard it. Once mountain bikers get into the
habit of telling the truth, the sport is dead.

Snails don't like slugs either?

That doesn't hold much credit with me. I have had PhD's with huge egos
