Abstract in brief

  • A study of 463 cyclists who completed at least a 320 km ride found that about 43% experienced new cases of erectile dysfunction within a week after the event.
  • Bicycle features such as using a mountain bike, higher or same level handlebars compared to the saddle, and saddle cutouts increased the risk of erectile dysfunction, especially if cyclists experienced perineal numbness during the ride.
  • The study suggests that cyclists might reduce the risk of erectile issues by choosing road bikes, lowering handlebar height relative to the saddle, and selecting saddles without cutouts if numbness occurs.
