My penis gets numb when I ride... - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

08-30-2004, 08:41 PM

Im not kidding....as soon as I hit about 6 miles or so my pecker
starts to get numb like all the blood is cut off. It is quite
disturbing. I have adjusted my seat a few times, and tried different
tights and shorts but nothing seems to work.

Anyone else have this problem or have any suggestions?

Then again, I have moved to Koobi saddles and haven't had any numbness
since the change- from Selle Italia Flite and Brooks B17. Someone else
will be sure to say that Koobis gave him numbness but a Brooks cured
it....

Yup, it's all personal. Try adjusting the angle on your current saddle and
see if that helps your picker.

Then explore the options. See if your LBS will let you test ride a few
different saddles for an extended time, perhaps borrow them overnight with
a deposit.

A lot of guys like the split saddles and some like firmer saddles because
firm=you don't sink in to the saddle thus reducing squishage.

btw, I ride a B17 cousin, the Chamion Flyer, and am very comfortable--but
tensioned leather saddles are hit or miss like all seats.

FWIW, the word "pecker" makes me think of mean chickens, a sensation quite
the opposite of penile numbness.

Get out of the saddle from time to time.
