‘Cyclist’s penis’: no cock up, but riders feel stiffed

[DS1]

First there was athlete’s foot, now it’s cyclist’s penis. It may never take off as a retail chain, but as a medical condition "cyclist’s penis" should be a cause of concern to those who are spending too much time on the two-wheeled saddle.

But, like smokers many years ago, most cyclists today are blissfully unaware that one of their favourite pastimes may be putting their bodies – or, specifically, one very sensitive area of it - at risk.

“This is a funny one,” laughs Bicycle South Australia’s Andy Johnstone. “There’s a condition called cyclist’s penis, and it generally, from my understanding, effects people who ride very long distances and mostly what they talk about is a lot of numbness.

[no name no slogan]

3. If you can't be an athlete, you can at least be an athletic supporter

eh, I got nothin.

[matcom]

4. i HAVE THAT!

but in MY case its caused from BEING ridden :D :hide:

[jpgray]

5. I hear tell a "century" for you is 100 seconds

:D

[matcom]

6. well by then the commercials are usually over

[yvr girl]

7. Umm...uh...Does size matter?

I would think in this case, smaller might be better.

8. I had to get an 'ergonomic' seat

:-)

[underpants]

9. Yeah I had to be warned about using the correct kickstand

:bounce:

10. I'm suspicious that your next p.m. will propose a treatment.

:loveya:

[DS1]

11. You should expect those to show up any old time

as a rule :*

[asthmaticeog]

12. Well that's why you get yourself

the bike seat with the t'aint hole.


Got one two years ago, haven't had any cycling-related wangal numbness since.

[DS1]

13. Got one

:hi:

[jpgray]

14. Sorry asth, but not everyone's would fit in there

:shrug:

[asthmaticeog]

15. Jeez...

How big is your t'aint, then? Must be pretty impressive. :wow:

[jpgray]

16. Don't ever ask to borrow a pair of three-legged jeans from me

:cry:

[asthmaticeog]

17. Hmmmm,

are you perhaps confusing the t'aint with some other anatomical feature? One hardly needs an additional pants-leg for one's t'aint except in cases of rather extreme distention.

[jpgray]

18. Not distended, but prehensile (nt)

[DS1]

19. is jpgray really the infamous goatse.cx

GUY?

[asthmaticeog]

20. I was terrified to click on that post,

for fear that you'd actually goatse'd your own thread. :crazy:

[DS1]

23. Goatsexing myself would be the ultimate form of shame

:rofl:

[jpgray]

21. I was blacklisted at Vegas for that show (nt)

[asthmaticeog]

22. Yeah, that's more of a Reno thing. n/t

[DS1]

24. I had to kick this, now that I remembered where I'd stored this pshop

[taterguy]

25. now you tell me

I don't appreciate this thread being posted the day before I go on a 90 mile charity bike ride

[DS1]

26. so you'd prefer it the day after?

besides, I think I posted it Wednesday
