Why bikes? you suspiciously ask.
Well, it's not so much the bike itself but the actual bike seat.
After riding your bike or going to spin class you get off your bike and you've probably noticed that you're a bit numb in the bicycle seat area, i.e. crotch.
Traditional bike seats, the kind with a narrow rear and pointy nose, could lead to or play a role in sexual impotence, sadly.
In fact, there was a study by Boston University in Italy found that the more a person rides, the greater the risk of impotence or loss of libido -- seriously! And, mountain bikers experience 'saddle-related trauma' as well.
Those crafty bicycle seats mostly affect men's love lives, however, women can have similar issues to men, i.e. low sex-drive or sexual dysfunction.
Whew! Before you start crying and bringing your bike to those expensive counselor appointments or even posting your brand new bike on Craigslist, it's been suggested to buy a new seat for your bike that's specifically designed to protect your privates. Or, you could try a different position while riding your bike.
Or, you could just continue riding your bike, like you do, with a numb crotch, and become a Nun or Monk. I hear they have some great internships!

I think you've found a new chapter for your book.
seriously.
this will definitely make a chapter.
um, does that seat say 'panasonic?'
does it play music?
yeah, that's an old seat, back when panasonic made seats that played music but caused side effects to the groin.
just bought my new bike seat for my crappy bike!
so far, so good. i haven't ridden on any long bike rides, yet. but my guess is this $50 bike seat will save my privates.
