Delicate Biking Isuue/Question...

New posts


Ok, I think this rates as funny. It is called the Spongy Wonder and has a website under the same name.
I won't even begin to wonder what that metal loop is gonna start on this thread. LOL!!! :floor:
 
I remember my first real long bike trip ... the 50 mile Apple Cider Century Bicycle Tour in Michigan. We were probably about 25 miles into the ride when I had to stop and pee. Ooh Wee! I though I was gonna die. It hurt, or burned so bad that for days I was afraid to pee. I bought a new seat!

I think it has to do with circulation being cutoff for an extended period of time. So now I stop and fluff every so often!


I am a intermediate biker. Pedal variety. I have a Gary Fisher 'Tarpon' with 2" 'Slicks' on the frame for pavements. I go at it fairly hard for about 15-25 miles a clip 3 days a week. I wear padded Mountain Biking shorts, not spandex that seroius racers wear. My problem, being a guy, is that my 'personal area':funn:goes 'numb' quite easily, like a foot falling asleep. Why is this? And how might I prevent it from occurring? Thanks. All serious responses appreciated. But I do realize I left myself open for some classic one or two liners. Have at it!:blink:
 
OMG.:floor: This thread has been our dinner discussion. Will just asked for one of these seats so "I don't have prostate problems later in life." I told him that Bdarg and I are more concerned with getting him out of braces first.

Oh, and inquiring minds want to know. How does one "fluff" when packed in those bike pants,?

Perhaps you should consider what I'm sure will soon be dubbed "the clooney"

George Clooney, from an interview in Esquire magazine discussing whether he had plastic surgery on his eyes: "I did get my balls done, though. I got them unwrinkled. It's the new thing in Hollywood -- ball ironing."

Leave it to Hollywood to take all the fun out of OMB's. Well, *fun* might be the wrong word... :lol:

About your bike seat, I really can't help you there, never had that problem...
 
Where did my "boys" go?
Prostate takes a bike beating
Thank God! There they are!

Poor numb OMB's
Is that my own hand they sense?
Need a new seat bad!

On a serious note...
Try angling the front of your seat down just a touch. It will feel like you are sliding forward until you get used to the new angle. Helped me...
