surely you're more likely to become impotent if you sit on your fat ars* all day long? I always believed the risk of impotence was vastly outweighed by the increase in cardio/vascular fitness that cycling brings.
Am I wrong? Please elaborate on the article!

| Quote: | But even today, Goldstein’s study has never been published by a peer-reviewed journal. In fact when Furchgott asked Goldstein for a copy of his paper or the data behind his claims, Goldstein told him that they were unavailable, but that he would describe the results of his study over the phone.
William Steers, the chairman of the urology department at the University of Virginia School of Medicine in Charlottesville and a critic of Goldstein’s claims, notes that if bicycles do cause male impotence it is hard to explain the continued fertility of men in countries where bicycle use is almost ubiquitous. As Steers puts it, “In China 90 percent of the male population cycles, and they don’t seem to have a problem maintaining the population.”

A urologist named Dr Irwin Goldstein claims that there are two type of cyclists - those that are impotent and those that will be impotent. So my solution to this problem is simple. Stop cycling? Hell no. Before your old chap goes south get as much of the good stuff as can. I'm gonna let the wife read the article when she gets home cos I plan on making a start tonight.  |
If I let my missus see that she'll have me out on my bike training hard enough to turn pro

See, as far as sperm count goes I’m not sure but as far as ‘good wood’ goes cycling’s a cure for any droopiness. Anyone else find themselves in possession of 'the horn' following a bike ride? Usually anything over two hours and within fifteen minutes of getting off* there it is - the big fella. The irony is that I’m often too knackered to then proceed. Funny old world, eh?
