[@jeroenransijn25]

The disease is much more common in countries where meat and dairy products are dietary staples than in countries where the basic diet consists of rice, soybean products, and vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cole slaw, or sauerkraut. The underlying factor linking diet and prostate cancer is probably hormonal. Quit the meat dairy and eggs and you will cut your chances of getting prostate cancer short.

[@jancreighton]

A flat, firm saddle like a Selle Royal Seta (not expensive) or equivalent, that is appropriately sized to provide correct support to your particular sit-bones. This effectively elevates the perineum out of the fray. Also, a 3-ish degrees nose-down attitude of the saddle keeps the saddle nose a little bit lower and again, out of the equation. Once I discovered this not so obvious solution, all discomfort became a thing of the past. Beyond this, correct crank length is another significant aspect of this situation. A crank that is too long causes over extension of the knee and consequently, exaggerated movement of the hips. I'm 5'10" (178cm) and 170mm cranks are vastly more comfortable for me than the typical 172.5 or 175 that come as standard fitment on frames recommended for my stature.

That's a ridiculous question.....even more crazy many years ago it was "suggested" young girls shouldn't ride bikes because...ya, you can guess why. Where' s the science?

We need to put an end to men "dying of embarrassment" - I would urge anyone to go and have a check up if they haven't done it recently. It's something I tell all my older cycling customers who are returning to cycling after years of inactivity.

I've been cycling for three years and 8 months straight, I love cycling, keeps my body awake and turns my engine on (my brain, heart, legs, feet and helps my core aka upper body stay in tip-top shape) I just love cardio and cycling.

[@martyweeks7594]

The shape of the saddle is also important! Try different ones & find the most comfortable TO YOU

[@reubendias18]

I've noticed that this happens over long distances, long duration with a single posture. Easiest way out, tilt the seat downwards in front by a bit and it should ease the pressure down there. For MTBs and hybrid cycles it shouldn't be a problem based on their cushioning and shock absorbers.

[@MarmiteCrumpets]

This is a very helpful and informative upload. I'm 65 and 3 years ago diagnosed with a trace of what appears to be a benign prostate cancer, it hasn't advanced and my PSA levels are fine. Up until 10 years ago I cycled quite a lot. Now I've just ordered a new bike as I miss cycling and want to get fit again, so the reassurances given in the video are great news. I think I will however invest in a Brooks saddle, which should afford greater comfort and minimise any potential irritation.

[@geoffworrall2592]

sensible, adult, matter of fact discussion about everyday male cycling issues. Well done and thank you

[@nospamallowed4890]

Good video. So in short, the numbness is annoying but not dangerous. Of course, there is a very good solution to the numbness... a recumbent bike or trike. Also, if your PSA is mildly elevated question any suggestion of a biopsy, there are better and non-invasive ways to test. The biopsy - especially in countries that are very averse to antibiotics - can lead to chronic bacterial infections and even more inflamation and raised PSA that is not necessarily an indicator of cancer. In other words... a poorly done test can cause worse issues.

[@don-dadda8006]

FYI prostate cancer research recently has suggested men should be checking at 45yrs old and those with African decent (which this is more common) should check close to 40yrs of age.

[@jakobw135]

Obviously, the STANDARD bike saddle is largely to blame for NUMBNESS, because of its nose. Therefore, consider the NOSELESS bike seat - like the Spongy Wonder! Works great for me. No numbness, like I used to have.

God are they ugly though... I bought a Fizik open saddle. Fixed all my problem.

I always use gel padded pants for cycling.😇👍

[@truantray]

Padding can increase blood vessel constriction.

[@cartman20000]

@@truantray oh yes it can, sometimes having "a lot" of cushioning(softness) can be a bad thing, as it can put too much pressure on the sensitive areas. I personally find thin padded, semi flexible, bike seats to be more comfortable for riding a bike for more than an hour(for numbness and general discomfort.), than ones with more cushioning.

Don't put lots of pressure on it for too long. If it gets numb, do something to give it circulation. Same goes for any other part of the body. I thought everyone knew that.

[@phillipnunya6793]

@plnkfloydian Are you sure you weren't staring at the girl in front of you? 😏

[@rohitranjan2767]

Very unhealthy sport. Cyclists have heart conditions, they put unnatural stress on spine and groin area. Long cardio builds up metabolic stress that's why they hardly have any muscles super skinny

Jeremy Clarkson must be quaking, maybe the science takes precedence over anti-cycling crap

[@kennethkoh9998]

Lol hes been spotting riding around town too, the irony. Still love his work

[@Databyter]

I've had the numbness to the point that I was afraid of drops of pee, and not knowing if I was possibly leaking. Other than saddles, you can try different angles, standing up occasionally, and rest stops. Of course age is a factor as well. I am 55, so I am probably more likely than a 20 year old to run into this issue on a long ride.

[@MaceUK71]

I had to stop road cycling because of this as I used to have it really bad. THe feeling came back after terrible pins and needles down there which wasn't pleasant... Started to happen everytime I cycled for long distances and nothing would stop it no matter what I changed or tried.

Thanks for this amazing video. Thank you so much!!!!

[@RobertSchuster68]

Last year I restarted with cycling and while training longer rides, I get problems only with my left side butt. Due to that I checked the sattle, I found out, that my bone is wider than average. So I bought an 15cm wide SQLab sattle. Unfortunately the pain and problems are still be there. The issue is, where to find the right Dr to check this. I’m from Germany, and it is really difficult to get a good doctor who has also Know-how in cycling technic and how to fit a bike right ...

[@itzdono]

I've been using a Hobson Easyseat since the nineties & never looked back. I don't know why people still use a traditional bike saddle.

[@budsadler400]

Excellent video. When I first started riding I also had a numbness issue that lasted just over a month. Needless to say it was rather disconcerting. The problem was not the bicycle but rather my tendency to slide forward on the saddle. I've since been much more conscious of maintaining a proper seating position.
