i read an article about cycling and the effect it can have on blood flow to certain areas. this kinda scared me. right now im riding an old 10 speed with a shitty seat on it and i do get numb from riding. so ive stopped riding for now.
i know i need a seat with the hole in the middle. im an average size guy. i need some recomendations on the best seat to prevent numbness and the blood flow problem (as in over a long time, when not riding, is a problem). anyone been riding long enough (10+years) and not have any problems like that?
also, how tight should my bike shorts be? again im an average size guy, 5'10" with a 31-32" waist and i have a size medium bike short. they seem a bit too tight though. they are the performance brand cycle short so they are kinda cheap. would buying a more expensive pair help with preventing numbess and that stuff?
also, is my crotch supposed to get numb while riding even with the right seat? anyone not have any problems like this, let me know what seat and shorts.
thanks
