Interesting on the bike riding as I am a former racer and like my narrow seats but do have ED post radiation. Could you point me to a reference on that? My RO told me there wasn't an issue with riding. Thanks.

It was mentioned in the PCRI conference last week. You couldn’t listen to the video, but I can’t promise you when it occurred and it’s over six hours. You would learn a lot watching it.
A quick search finds this, which is exactly what was discussed?
Yes, prolonged or improper cycling can affect the ability to get an erection by compressing nerves and blood vessels in the perineum. However, this risk can be mitigated by proper bike fit, choosing a suitable saddle, and taking breaks to change position. The cardiovascular benefits of cycling are also important for overall sexual health, so cycling shouldn't be completely avoided.
