As I lay here on my back crippled from a severe low back strain, I was searching the web for answers to my current condition and found this interesting article that looks to be recently published. The author investigated the incidence of overuse injuries among mountain bikers, and classified results according to a variety of terms including age, gender, riding frequency, suspension (rigid, front, full), gears (SS vs gears), and types of injuries.

It looks like the most definitive conclusion, arguably, is that riding both SS and gears may predispose one to injuries given that the muscles used for either endeavor are not as fully developed as for someone who rides exclusively one or the other.
Thoughts?
