I'm Concerned about Impotence from Cycling

Article is BS. If one is properly fitted on bike, and may need to experiment with different saddles, no problem. I am 55, ride 6000 -7000 miles per year, junk works great.

carrots? no sh*t

I ride a Specialized body geometry saddle.The toupe on the roadie and the phenom on the xc bike. Find they work great. Ive been fitted up by Steve Hogg in Sydney and this has added to the comfort.

I also make a habit of getting out the saddle every few minutes for a few seconds just to keep blood flow'n at peak levels.

Its the little things like bike fit, saddle design and getting out the saddle that can make the big difference.

Part of recovery training after long hours in the saddle is rubbing one out immediately after each ride

I am worried about the impending zombie invasion though. I currently only have 2500 rounds of ammunition on hand.

[Note to self: buy more ammo re: zombie invasion.]

As a last resort, trusty katana is always a good thing to keep on hand for these sorts of things.

Personally I am working on a suit a zombie proof armor.

From personal experience, the angle of the saddle plays a large part, as does how you sit on it. I had this really dodgy saddle on my track bike, and there were a few times where i sat so far forward that the undercarriage went numb. After making a few educated adjustments, i've had no issues. Even on my new bikes, I take the time to adjust the saddle for the first few rides to make sure the angle is exactly as I need it.

The only thing that gets sore is my sit bones. Everything else seems to be working correctly, except if I'm ridiculously tired right after training - then I just want to sleep

Also - I second the motion of getting out of the saddle every now and again just to make sure blood is flowing as it should.

I'm genuinely curious - do PETA have a peer reviewed study for this claim? I only ask because the propagation of the human race depends on a man being able to have enough blood flow to his genital area to cause an erection to form, and then continue through the steps of coitus. Seeing as though there have been many, many generations before us that have eaten meat and still managed to reproduce, this claim on the face of it seems fallacious.

Don't get me wrong - i love my fruit and vegetables as much as the next vegetarian or vegan, but such outlandish claims without proper evidence make PETA look ridiculous. I understand the message they want to get out to people, but there's probably better ways of doing it.

Besides... that chick got hit with an ugly stick. Perhaps the cattlemen were so turned off by her that they didn't want to come?

Ride hard

You will be plenty important if you ride hard.

You know this is just a rumor when there are 40 replies and no one says that they experienced any signs of impotence. Plus it just sounds silly and unfounded.
