I've seen this reported a few times in the past and had weight training suggested as a means to ensure healthier bones. I doubt the affect on your average cyclist will be very noticeable, especially one who lives a relatively active lifestyle anyway, e.g. someone who will walk the 5 mins to the shop rather than drive. But for the people who eat, sleep and work on the bike, it could cause issues if no preventative action is taken.
I'm not an expert so I could be completely bulshitting here, but that's what I've read.
