Then there is probably something to it. Where there is smoke there is usually fire.

But the articles keep generalizing. Not being specific. That doesn't make them believable.

You don't hear professional cyclists' who race in the Tour de France, Giro de Talia, Velta eSpania, Tour of California, etc.; complaining about sexual dysfunction, and quitting the UCI Pro Tour because of it.

IMO this is an old wives tale. Probably started by an old wife who was unhappy with her old husband's performance.

Now you're just sounding like a commercial. Will I get washboard abs and beautiful models if I drink more Bud Light, too?

Conclusion: ladies, don't raise your seat higher than your handlebars and make sure your bike fits you.

No you will be too drunk to notice your beer belly, and after too many beers they all look good at closing time.

As mentioned by a couple entries earlier, a recumbent bike or trike will do away with all those worries. And beside that you can ride in comfort all the time.

2017 to 2020? Lots of seat time to report back on, I suppose.
