SPECIALIZED Power Arc Pro Elaston

What about bicycle seats with a cutout in the middle to relieve perineal pressure? They may actually make things worse! The pudendal nerve and artery don’t travel along the midline but rather in Alcock’s canals, along either side, and the decreased sitting surface area of cutout saddles can aggravate rather than relieve the pressure.5997 Cyclists using cutout saddles have up to six times the risk of ED, but this seems limited to those who experience concurrent perineal numbness.5998 What can you do? The greatest pressure in the critical region comes from leaning forward. Cycling upright was found to result in 40 percent better penile oxygenation than cycling at a sixty-degree angle leaning forward.5999 You can also regularly switch to standing up on the pedals during prolonged rides.6000
