To Bike or Not to Bike? My Thoughts on Biking and Cycling, for Female Health

biking female movement pelvic health Nov 24, 2022

Last week I posted on IG about the myth that cycling is great for the female body. 

This question comes up a lot in my work with women, and often they get bummed when I say biking, or cycling, is not supportive to the female body. 

I get it, I used to be an avid former biker, but during my studies of female physiology and anatomy I started to understand (and feel) that it really wasn't in alignment with my body. 

I also noticed a pattern in the stories of women who I worked with, their biking habits and their pelvic concerns. 

Women ask me about biking so often because they generally already have a sense from their experience that it's not great for them. 

So this is why I say that biking and cycling are unsupportive.

However...Not all biking is created equal. 

So you might not need to cut out your bike habits just yet.
