I had the same question for my team at MSK: they said no cycling ONE WEEK prior to blood test, prostate of not.
My surgeon at NYU laughed and said “Bullshit!” I believe him for what has already been stated: no prostate, no pressure irritation, no rise in PSA.

I agree. If you have had RP there is no prostrate. So how do you irritate a prostrate with bike riding if you don't have one.
Bike riding prior to PSA testing is widely known. Mayo, UFPTI, and other institutions do say it can increase PSA levels due to irritation to prostrate. When I had the Space/Oar put in prior to radiation they would not let me ride bike at all. Seems the pressure on rectum area can make the Space/Oar move or damage it.
