- Rudegar, on 08/08/2008, -1/+35the title led me to believe that it was concerning some sort of a skin and tissue transplant
- kensavage, on 08/08/2008, -0/+18or just tilt it down 5 degrees relieves 80% of all pressure on the main vein so to speak.
- megaton, on 08/08/2008, -0/+15"Outcry from women over removal of orgasm-inducing bicycle seat nose"
- ironeus, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1497% choosing to go 'noseless' sure is staggering.
- T440, on 08/08/2008, -0/+11And yet another advantage of having a small penis..
- AmICoolNow, on 08/08/2008, -0/+10This title is misleadingly interesting.
- RusskiGuy, on 08/08/2008, -0/+8It's like you're trying to correct someone, but fail with your use of "your" instead of "you're." Review previous sentence for examples of correct use.
- cl2yp71c, on 08/08/2008, -0/+8What was the first one?
- MartinGr, on 08/08/2008, -0/+7Ok, nice...perhaps It's just me but I though of something completely different (and not related to bikes) when I first read the title
- haentz, on 08/08/2008, -1/+7...and some serious decision.
- iainmd, on 08/08/2008, -1/+7Old news, mostly debunked. Some scientist published this to sell his noseless bike seat. A properly adjusted and chosen nosed seat will not cause numbness. As for the guy who suggested tilting the saddle down: if it's tilted too far down, you'll end up with too much pressure on your hands, which is no fun after a while.
The late bicycle guru, Sheldon Brown, weighs in on the issue: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/saddles.html (especially check out the split seats section) - inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+6Yes, talk about totally losing your credibility. If you correct someone's grammar (as he rightfully did in this case), you'd better do so flawlessly.
- dave8910, on 08/08/2008, -1/+5I cycle everyday for long periods of time and this is news to me.
- maehem, on 08/08/2008, -1/+5Cool. Now design a bike without the top cross bar that I kept racking my nuts on as a kid.... oh, that's called a girls bike.
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -1/+5"Would of".
Log off and read a book, you illiterate. - greatREDvinny, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3Or a bike that is not too big for you.
- edebolt, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3get a proper bike fit. If your bike is adjusted then you will be in no danger and a nosed saddle is much better for control of the bicycle and most importantly you will not look like a safety phobe douchbag
- gradivus, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3Install car.
- sanman, on 08/08/2008, -1/+4otherwise your voice octaves might go higher than the sound of your bicycle squeaking
- doople, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3It's like any repetitive stress injury. You don't notice it at any given time, until eventually problems arise.
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3[/falsetto voice]
- inactive, on 08/08/2008, -0/+3How to "cut-out" seats stack up to these noseless seats? Thats what I have on my bike and I don't seem to get any numbness in the special region.
- nickbr00tality, on 08/08/2008, -2/+4the title made me think they had to cut off the nose or some stupid crap like that...ohhhhhhhhh
- dougmc, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2The classic `two triangles' shape of a bike has been with us for 100 years for a very good reason -- it works extremely well. It's strong, about as strong as it can be with a given amount of materials, making it light.
What probably would have helped more would have been to get your parents to not get a bike that you have to `grow into'. It's better to have a top bar that's too low than too high. (But it's also important to adjust the seat properly, though my knees were a lot more tolerant of an improperly adjusted seat 30 years ago than they are now!)
Also, in most cases, it's not your nuts that hit -- it's your ass. Still hurts, mind you, but not as much. And of course, sometimes the nuts do get hit ... - CYR1X, on 08/08/2008, -1/+3I seriously don't get the problem, is the pressure of your penis so insignificant that a rider can't feel it and over time it will hurt them? I mean if it is noticeable, move your damn junk.
- kokoshka, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2I appreciate the cancer joke despite any grammatical errors.
- dougmc, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2From what I understand, if the bicycle seat rubs a woman `there', it's uncomfortable or painful rather than orgasm-inducing. Sort of like that guy who's virginity she took -- he sort of knew where things were, but had no idea what to do once he got there.
- cl2yp71c, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Dugg for the title.
- kelchm, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Yeah, that seat just isn't going to fly while mountain biking. I'll stick with my WTB, thanks.
- Aidje, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2@mortalynflux
The comma would be superfluous. Adverbial phrases require commas when they're at the *beginning* of the sentence—not at the end. - muniak, on 08/08/2008, -1/+3The title is very misleading, I can't imagine someone would read that and not notice that it sounds like a transplant article.
- kiantech, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2you have to have a penis to KNOW
- alpharaptor, on 08/08/2008, -1/+3i don't think cyclists should be procreating in the first place
- lmf49, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2I'm so glad that now there is a way to prevent my inevitable case of erectile dysfunction (or so the commercials tell me). Now if I only rode a bicycle...
- LowRentDiggs, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2I have tried tilting my seat down but I still get numb on my commute. I haven't been riding much lately but I need to look into another seat soon.
- blahtastic, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Why a girls bike lacks the nut bar while a guys bike has it is probably the greatest mystery of childhood.
*Shh, it's for skirts back in the olden days. - CobaltBlue, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2When it comes to penis safety, I can care less what others think of me from a safety phobe standpoint. That's why I were an armored codpiece everywhere I go.
- feliks2, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Ah *****, I had a bad feeling about that when I made that post. I have no excuse.
- Tripper44, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2It took researchers to discover this?? wtf??
Now when will they research why girls bikes dnt have the ***** crossbar to bash your balls on and guys bikes do? - HiroOfShadows, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2Honestly, how did they not think of this already?
Oh, and just reading the title, I thought it was some guy that got a surgery to use his nose as a penis. X_X - kingfoot, on 08/08/2008, -0/+2i had instant images of a future with many men without noses... i dunno why either.
- dougmc, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1As it should be. Most of the people who attribute `erectile dysfunction' to cycling ... aren't cyclists. (And they generally aren't urologists or sports doctors either.)
As long as you pick a saddle that doesn't make you go numb and adjust it properly, you're good. If you're going numb, then something needs changing.
Their study said `Originally only 27 percent of men reported no numbness' -- which seems very odd to me. I suspect that the bar for numbness was set very low.
http://bicyclehabitat.com/page.cfm?PageID=97 seems to cover the issue of numbness pretty well.
Still, this saddle they're proposing, they might be on to something. If it's more comfortable, then that's a good thing, even if it looks funny.
Personally, it's my hands that go numb more than anything in my crotch. But it's not so bad, and it goes away minutes after being on the bike. - niczar, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1If you "can care less", then this means that you care at least a little.
You might want to use "I can't care less" instead. - Rudegar, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1no skin of my nose ;)
- dougmc, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1The pressure isn't on your penis, or on your balls (ow!) If it is, quit trying to tuck your junk back so you look like a girl!
It must be on nerves somewhere ... - yotomote, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1WONT SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE PENISES?
- CobaltBlue, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1I swear someone always comes behind me and introduces typos into my comments.
- kiverson, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1The title is a funny play on the content in the article. There's nothing misleading, just read the article. He talks about the bicycle NOSE and saving problems with men's PENIS. Or was that not literal enough?
- rz8472, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1So that's why Cyrano de Bergerac couldn't get laid....
- Aitese, on 08/08/2008, -0/+1Because you sir have massive balls
