I finished radiotherapy 10 weeks ago and want to get back on the bike.  I read somewhere that’s it’s not wise to cycle as you sit on the affected area.  I have had UTI issues but would riding a bike exacerbate any issues post RT.  I know there are split saddles that can alleviate pressure caused by normal road bike saddles.

any experience appreciated

thanks

Jack

  • Hi Jack, I do a lot of cycling, and have changed all my saddles following diagnosis to split saddle (I use ISM). Previously I only used these for time trials, but now I have it on my normal road bike too, it works great for me. 

    I didn't cycle during RT, on request of my medical team, but got back on the bike a month after. 

    Hope this helps
