There's also the factor of different types of exercise. Resistance training (again, with proper form) has done wonders for me (and before I trot out anecdata, I'll preface that resistance training has been prescribed for skeletal issues in the elderly for a while now). Things that used to hurt after "totally unrelated" exercise (hiking, climbing, etc), now no longer hurt. And I had been doing these activities for years - it wasn't until I started resistance training that the pain went away.

Cyclists must pay special attention to work the other muscles that do not get worked while cycling or they risk creating imbalances which leads to pain and injury.
