Yale study suggests bicycle riding harmful.

"The main finding was that the lower the handlebars, the more physical effects the women experienced, likely because low handlebars required the women to lean forward, which in turn put more pressure on the perineum, which is made of soft tissue. The problem was most likely to occur when the rider assumed an aerodynamic racing position in which she leaned far forward with her back flat." They make bike seats with cut outs for the pelvic area. Just buy one of those. To be honest, when I'm riding, the biggest problem is not pressure from the seat, but pressure from the pants/shorts that tighten up while I'm riding... Hmmmm... maybe I should invest in spandex? Any personal experience?

I believe that you should speak to JSOP, if you can drag him away from his Mustang.

The only thing Sean wears go on his nipples. Unless you count oil as something that can be worn.

I used to cycle to school in my teenage years... The wind could blow like mad, making me have to lean forward and really get into that saddle. Sometimes with my books on my back. I didn't have any professional biking gear or whatever and it was quite a distance (15 mile a day). Hell, I know saddle pain! My balls still hurt when I think about it. I might even be sterile after all those years! :~ My condition was through the roof though... Which, of course, was quite beneficial for my 'sexual sensation' ;)

Yes. People tend to laugh and point when I wear spandex, especially at the bar.
Will Rogers never met me.
You have a bar in your spandex? :omg:

Well, the cyclists who ride on a two lanes road with no shoulder whatsoever in a 50 miles zone have a good chance to have their seats shoved up their ass from some SUV. In this case I would recommend seats with…let say more streamline shape.

Not as badly as when you brake too hard and slide onto the cross-bar, or worse the handlebar stem.

:laugh: There is just such a road around my house, and the cyclists are foolish to ride there, but they do.

I live in Ohio. According to Ohio vehicle laws, bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicle drivers. Ohio also has a '3 foot' law, which states that drivers are required to give riders a minimum of 3 feet of space when passing. Both of these are in effect for all Ohio roads, not just those deemed 'safe' or 'acceptable' for bicyclists to use. Unfortunately, I can attest to how ineffective these laws are. A few years ago a woman in a van brushed me off the road and into a ditch by passing too close. A rider friend has been hit twice, both times by drivers breaking the law.

If your spandex outfit has a big yellow X on the chest, they'll take you seriously.

It didn't seem to do any harm to the reproductive rate in China. Maybe they should amend the law: Only one child per couple; bike-riding optional, because it doesn't make a difference.
