I've been riding my current bike for nearly a year in extreme comfort after spending a good length of time adjusting everything for a perfect fit. I recently had two weeks off the bike due to a nasty cold and started riding again last Friday. Since then I've noticed a twinge of numbness down below, as though my fit has gone a little astray... but nothing seems to be out of place (pardon the pun). Can anyone offer any other explanation for a sudden change in fit? Muscle tension, body position adjustment etc??? Ideas appreciated.

A wild and uneducated guess:
You're perhaps still a trifle congested and trying to sit up so you can breathe more deeply. That would make you move forward in the saddle and thus putting the stiiting bone bits onto a somewhat narrower bit of the saddle. End result being you sit lower with respect to the saddle and put pressure on the perineum (sp?).

So he's forgetting to sit on the monkey bones? Or maybe Lotte's correct and Beans is feeling rather chuffed with his sudden self improvement? 😉

You know, that might just be possible. I'm still breathing a bit hard but hadn't thought about whether or not I'm adjusting my position to compensate.

You should try getting a vasectomy! Kept me out of the saddle for damned near 6 months, that did.

Man that sounds like seriously painful complications.

6 months? I was back in the saddle within a couple of weeks. What did your surgeon use, a couple of bricks? I had mine under a local (which was starting to wear off by the time that the last stitches were going in - hurty hurty).

Likewise, but no dramas. I also had a Valium, which sure helped. The doc had a shelf in clear view of patients, containing some sentimental items including two bricks ... also a sign saying something about what he could get you to do, once he had you by the testicles ... I faded out about then with a wry smile on my face. Back on the bike in about two weeks, but could have been earlier except for doctor's orders. Funny thing - the receptionist/nurse was a frequent member of the bunch ride, so she knew more than most about quite a few riders.

Well, perhaps I exaggerate a little. With hindsight I tried to get active again too soon after the op, and several months later I was still getting discomfort from where the vas ends were healing (I still have small tender lumps there).
I *could* have ignored the discomfort and kept riding, but that didn't seem like such a great idea at the time.

I couldn't ride my bike for about 6 weeks after mine (nor anything else, pretty much). It was also probably exacerbated by trying to do too much, too early. And it didn't help matters that I hobbled out the back door the day I got back from hospital, to be greeted by my 3yo doberman. She was a lovely dog, but with one bad habit, thrusting her snout into peoples' groins .......
