Prostate Friendly Bike Saddles

Hello,

Since my diagnosis I haven’t been near my bike and I don’t know if I will until after radiation. I cycled a lot before. I might be over worrying, but I want to give myself the best chance of a cure. But has anyone tried the prostate-friendly saddles? There are designs called ISMs, which have a cutaway to removed the transference of vibrations to the prostate.

My current saddle is just completely solid and harder than a PHD in quantum physics. I went on a cycle trip over the Pyrenees many years ago with a cycling-mad friend who recommended we fit these saddles because they had been used on the Tour de France. I’d happily replace it, but with something suitable.

Any thoughts or advice would be welcome.

Thanks, Tom

Thanks for the support. How do you message directly on here? It’s tough at the moment because I have to take it easy through the chemotherapy. The third week of the three week cycle I am back to press-ups, pull ups and squats with weights to get as fit as I can before the next round, but the first two weeks I have to pace myself (although I still do loads of walking) and avoid public places because it lowers your immune system. It’s a three week obstacle course.

So inevitably there is a bit of sitting around, which isn’t ideal for the mind. But I am trying to win the battle and stay positive.

It's great you're doing weights, it really helps with preventing muscle loss and keeping overall normality.

Keep on fighting
