Cyclists and prostate cancer
is it my imagination or do a disproportionate number of cyclists comment on prostate cancer message boards?
Not a joke. I have been involved in a variety of sports from sailing to rugby and have indeed met a few cyclists over time but it just seems to me that on a % basis, there is more than the average here on this message board.
Has anyone else had similar thoughts? I am thinking their PSA levels may be naturally elevated over time. Probably mistaken but doesn't hurt to ask.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a road bike seat. I'll be finishing radiation treatments by end of January, hopefully, and want to get back on my bike ASAP. I ride about 2,000 miles a year. Thanks.

At a recent conference, they mentioned that getting on a bike seat that sits on the perineum and puts weight there causes erectile dysfunction, You want a seat that is wide in the back and does not have a narrow area for the perineum.
Others can give you some exact styles. I bought a bike seat that looks like this, But they say it’s no longer available. Something similar is probably what you want.
