[Closed] Does anyone else get a boner when riding their road bike?

Lol! but speak to a doctor just in case. Or maybe you just realy like riding your bike?

Wear it with pride.

And yes, occasionally.

Also used to get a lazy lob sitting on the angled back seats of a black taxi. There's a pressure point somewhere (i've searched) that gives me an instant nose of gonzo.

That doesn't sound healthy.

Is your saddle level?

Maybe go for one with a pressure-relief channel?

I do, especially when I ride past shop windows or those gateway mirrors (less so with the gateway mirrors as I find the fish-eye effect rather unflattering).

Er, no. But it would be a LOT more worrying if I did, given that I am a lady person.

[I]knock yourselves out.[/I]

Sounds like it's you that wants to be knocking one out

Easy.

No road bike = no sexual dysfunction.

But we all knew that anyway, didn't we?

Are you riding "nose up" 🙂

had to retrieve my helmet off the bike to camouflage the problem

Bonus points if you placed it over your crotch then put your hands on your hips while casually carrying on the conversation.

Oh man... work laptop 🙁

Is it the sight of all those men in Lycra?

No. Just Dave.

"Nose of Gonzo"

Brilliant!

As a randy 17 year-old I used to walk my GF home from school, wheeling the bike, snog her for a few minutes outside her door then cycle the last couple of miles home. The few minutes on a narrow 70s style saddle were always pretty uncomfortable and actually downright wobbly until the tumescence died down. Try it and you'll see what I mean.

Have you got your old GF details so I can try it? A recent pic may help as well.

But... I thought it was mountain biking that you kept seeing [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/anyone-in-the-surrey-hills-area-recognise-this-chap ]Dave[/url].

Edit: D'oh just spotted you beat me to the Dave joke...

I'm no inspector clueso but have you been on the PEDs?

What you mean the little blue pills?

Need a better fitting saddle to take pressure of the perineum. Never had that problem personally, but my TT bike needs a shorter saddle than my road bike (Aliante vs. Arione) for more comfort. You could try tilting the saddle down half a degree and moving it forward. Or raise the bars.

I saw 953 rourke with 80th anniversay Super Record and Bora Ultras the other day.

So yes, occasionally.

Your assuming he wants it to stop happening.

Well that's the point. I absolutely DON'T want it to stop happening, hence my concern!

No chance, any time on the bike and mini hoppy disappears.

Never was a fan of the muppets so apart from a few of them i don't recognise them by name.

So just googled 'Gonzo' to understand the nose of gonzo comment.

Now have a new favourite phrase.

I was chatting to one of the female competitors .... and becoming vaguely aware of the 'growing problem'

I suggest you get another lawyer if this is going to be your defence?

I wonder if Gonzo has ever been to the Mull of Kintyre.

walk about a bit?*

* hands on hips, crotch thrust forward shouting "look at my massive cock, how did that happen" is optional....

This happens to me all the time, especially on the road bike and it's almost guaranteed if I stop for a road-side slash, I think the 'relief' of having a wee and it being freed from the confines of some sweaty Lycra is enough to got he old fella excited. Very embarrassing.
I could really do with waiting a minute or two to calm down before setting off, but I'm not sure a bloke in Lycra hiding in the bushes with a lob on is such a great idea.

Perhaps it only happening on the roadie and not the MTB is something to do with only the former being fully rigid?

Lets hope these chaps dont have '70s style saddles.

Only when riding past the local university.

Greg,

I'm glad I haven't visited g10/57 this year!

Haha, happens to me every now and again if I stop for a piss. It's a right **** on if I'm wearing a skin suit...

Change saddle ...

Er, no. But it would be a LOT more worrying if I did, given that I am a lady person.

Can't post what I was going to do in relation to that! Too crude.

Also used to get a lazy lob sitting on the angled back seats of a black taxi. There's a pressure point somewhere (i've searched) that gives me an instant nose of gonzo.

Used to get that on bad car seats when I was a teenager, have shift around and compose yourself for a bit before you get out.

On a more serious note I would be worried that you are doing long term damage to the blood supply. I won't ask you to say if you have any but if you have had any other erectile problems or problems peeing I'd go see a doctor and in the mean time take a good look at your saddle shape and position, and also your position on the bike, to see if you can relieve some of the pressure on that part of your body.

I did know someone with a lycra fetish not unlike poisonspider above and he would get a raging boner whenever he came into contact with it. Slightly disturbing to say the least!

Lets hope these chaps dont have '70s style saddles.

That picture of the Polish cycling team is not new to me. Believe it or not I got sent that in my email by a (female) colleague at work (as a result of commuting in lycra). I'm good friends with her but am holding onto it just in case we fall out.

On a more serious note

Is there any aero advantage to be had from getting a lob-on? Especially for TTing...

maybe try taping one of these images to the stem see if you can counter the prostate tickling with something visual:

And when you say "we", and when you say "fall out"...

geetee72-For the first time ever my wife has shown an interest in bicycles and wants to know exactly what your saddle and bike set up is.I have no idea why.

Yup, changed all my saddles to ADAMO ones after finding I was getting both numbness and then a semi post bike rides after having flite ti saddles on all my bikes for years. Not looked back really!

I used to get a semi post ride, but cured that by having the wife turn the hall mirror round before I reenter the house.

As billy connolly says... 'Never waste a hard on!'

Used to get that on bad car seats when I was a teenager, have shift around and compose yourself for a bit before you get out.

That's called Convoy Cock, a well-known phenomenon amongst fit young lads who have to ride long distances in military trucks with bouncy suspension, according to my ex-Army brother.

I've not commented on this thread thinking it would deteriorate very quickly into a "mines bigger than yours" thread, but it hasn't. I am amazed.

Yes, as it happens I have encountered the problem. Long road rides for me which contain more a TT position on the bike for flat long sections. Get a bit of a twinge then if I don't move around I get one. Invariably it goes within a few hundred meters if I shift my weight, but I know when it's about to start now so move before it happens.

I just does happen, nothing to be worried nor poncy about it.
