Ladies, your bike might be damaging your hoohah!

Yes, ladies... it's true.  That tingling feeling you feel "down there" when you get off your bike after a long ride isn't a good thing.  Not like this is rocket science, but new research published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine states that female cyclists experience less "genital sensation" as compared to female runners.

The study looked at 48 hardcore female bike riders that ride at least 10 miles a week.  They then measured soreness, numbness and the tingling sensation. 

But this tingling and numbness (not exactly great for sex) can be eased or eliminated!  Dr. Schrader - a scientist at the National Institute for Occupation Safety and Health says that using bucycle saddles without noses (that long pointy thing at the front) eliminate problems for those of the male gender, but he hasn't tested it for women (sexist pig!)  But the new study shows that women who position their handlebars lower than the seat experience more pressure in the "soft tissue called the perineum and had decreased sensation in the pelvic floor."  Lower sensation = bad.  The lower the handlebars, the more the woman puts pressure of the perineum. 

So, easy solution - bring up your handlebars, have better sensation in your hoohah.  This is a public service announcement, brought to you by ME!
