I wonder if that's the only thing that gets damaged. How do biological things fare on long durations of vibration?

  There is something called vibration induced white finger. It was known as drillers finger too.

    Yep, that traditionally happened after you had worked in a mine for years using daily a (air powered) drill or similar, though it has been recognized as a industry/work hazard only relatively recently, after the 1970's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_white_finger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_white_finger

  Both cycling and motorcycling have well-known associated pathologies. Groin, testicles, eardrums, hips, they can all suffer. However, this has been known for decades, so there are plenty of countermeasures easily available.

  In recent years, studies have shown that vibration exposure causes brain damage over time: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5664147/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5664147/
