Health Tip:

Men: Pay Attention
to Your Bicycle Seat

Men who bike more than three hours a week should be aware that standard bicycle seats, ridden for extended periods, can cause temporary numbness and, in some, more serious problems, such as erectile dysfunction.

Such problems are caused by compression of an artery and a nerve connected to the penis. New seat designs to minimize compression are now available.
Other preventive measures you can incorporate:

change the position (height) of the seat
use a padded or wide seat
stand frequently on the pedals
frequently shift positions while riding
avoid significant time in the forward position
use the legs to absorb shocks when riding over bumps.
