How do I protect my prostate when cycling?

Change position often while riding by adding bar ends to handle bars so you can change the height of your body. Sitting in a more upright position is more prostate friendly. Be sure to wear padded cycling shorts when you ride.

What kind of bike seat is most comfortable?

In some cases, too much cushion can cause discomfort and pressure as your body sinks into the saddle. The two most common types of cushioning are gel and foam. Gel cushioning molds to your body and provides the plushest comfort. Most recreational riders prefer this for its superior comfort on casual rides.

Is it better to have bike seat higher or lower?

If the levers aren’t suitably arranged, then it’s harder to effectively generate power, and there is risk of injury. If a saddle is too low, then the pedal stroke is over before the muscles have been able to fully do their thing (contract or extend). Increasing saddle height increases power output, up to a point.

Is a wider bike seat better?

Wider saddles tend to be more comfortable so are good for long rides or leisurely riders where extra weight from more materials isn’t an issue. Thinner saddles tend to be better for short efforts – such as racing – where comfort isn’t dispensed with entirely but is compromised in favour of other factors.
