Numb nuts!

Bean Long said:

Thought that might get someone's attention.

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.

Remove "yourfinger" before replying

in your two weeks of abscence the gremlins moved your saddle position....

(never know)...

Not having had the treatment ( ie: bollucus intactus) , havnt had the post nik/stitch problem, but do find that after a period off the bike, the bod takes a slight adjustment to get back into that comfy saddle spot over the sit bones...numb nethers are not nice... try to shuffle around and set the butt bones on the broad pads of the saddle and think of your next n..kie...all should be well 🙂

if it doesnt work, maybe you are still suffering from some ailment that has caused the body to take a different position on the bike ...you may need to be checked out and/or have your saddle position re-checked to suit your new body demands.... we keep changing as we age ( or get younger/fitter/fatter/wider).... and two weeks off the bike just might be enough to tell you a change has occurred...

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.

I was sterilised in April this year by Dr Trevor Sauer of who wants to be a millionaire fame. Some friends of mine had it done under a general, but under a local is the only way to go. You want your wits about you so you don't see photos of your gear in another mans hands on the interweb a few hours later.

I was back on the bike in 2 weeks. Could have been a lot sooner but I followed Dr's orders. Mind you, I nearly pulled out of the procedure when one of the guys at work said that he had it done a few years and that I'd end up with nutz like over-ripe black avocados. I checked that story out with the doctor, and he assured me that my nutz could not possibly shrink to that size. Boom tish. I'm thinking of getting circumcized next week - does anyone need a new fan belt? Boom Boom tish. I got a million of 'em .. ....

I hope you mean a million bad jokes, not a million fan
belts...

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

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).

Ikes. Local in the mouth was painful enough. I'm trying not to
imagine local anaesthetic in the groin.
