Is Biking Harmful to Your Penls?

[davelmn2003]

I use my bike very often (though not for an extended period of time). I ride to school and back, all in all for about 30 minutes a day, just about 6 days a week. Is that harmful to my private part?

No, 30 mins is almost no time at all.
this should be the worry of pro bikers only, who cycle tens of kilometres every day to practice.

if you are still concerned, get a better seat (one, that has a hole in the middle or softedned middle part).

(see the second seat in the first row:

ceasar is correct.
unless you ride 120 miles a day on a 18.2 gram titanium racing seat/rail, biking isnt doing any harm to your little fellow.

I don't care what anyone says, Lance is a kick ass athelete!

I didn't say he wasn't.

He's possibly the hardest-core guy in the world.

I'm not a pro, but I ride about 400 miles a week, and up to 5 hours a day. I've been at it for three years.

I have no problems downstairs whatsoever. The shorts that serious cyclists wear have ergonomic pads stitched in to make things more comfortable and prevent friction.

I will say that my erections seem noticably harder after long rides (~3 hours or more).

The shorts do make a major difference. I thought I was doing pretty good until I bought a pair of Pearl Izumi Microsensor 3D bibs for a double century. OMG, those things made the ride soooooo smmoooooth......
