Background: Cycling is associated with many health benefits, but also with the risk of injury. Trends in bicycle-related injuries are difficult to assess because the majority of nonfatal injuries sustained while cycling are not reported to police and thus are not included in traffic statistics.
1 We sought to evaluate trends in adult cycling injuries and hospital admissions in the United States using emergency department data.
Background: Genital numbness and erectile dysfunction in cyclists may result from repeated perineal impacts on the bicycle saddle (micro-trauma) that occur during routine cycling.
Aim: To evaluate the relationship between oscillation forces and perineal pressures among cyclists in a simulated laboratory setting.
