eBook helps men and women cyclists avoid seat-related injuries and describes how to objectively choose a safer, more comfortable saddle.



Chapel Hill, NC – Every cyclist is eventually confronted by the desire for a more comfortable bicycle seat that helps avoid sexual problems and other groin-related injuries. The difficulty is telling the facts from the marketing hype when shopping for a new seat.

In this second edition of Finding the Perfect Bicycle Seat, Joshua Cohen PT, MS has added 28 pages of additional information and included 119 photos and illustrations that explain all of the latest scientific bicycle saddle research for men and women. His cycling experience and extensive research in ergonomic bicycle seat design allows him to clearly answer:



* Can bicycling really cause erectile dysfunction in men?



* What types of injuries can women have from bicycle saddles?



* Which seat designs should men and women consider first?



* Do holes and gels in saddles help or hurt?



* Can riding position and style increase risk of genital injury?



* Who is most at risk for injury from bicycle seats?



With a background in biomechanics, product design and physical therapy, Cohen recognizes that no one seat is perfect for everyone. His objective is to teach each cyclist how to evaluate any seat objectively to decide if it will provide both comfort and safety.

The eBook includes 119 photos, illustrations and tables as well as 45 scientific references. The forward is by Ed Pavelka, former executive editor of Bicycling magazine, the first cycling publication to explore the potential sexual risks that result from sitting on a bicycle seat.



Finding the Perfect Bicycle Seat, 2nd Ed. is available as an instant eBook download (PDF document) for $19.95 through www.RoadBikeRider.com/pbs_page.htm .
