Heres an embarrasing one

On a serious note. I've heard that improper positioning of a saddle can cause infertility in men.

Especially if you mount the bike by leapfrogging onto the saddle without ensuring that you have safely stowed your bags.

Certainly saddle.

Cheap solution maybe try a Charge Spoon (not the knife as they fall to bits). Less padding = good ! Flatter profile (side to side) = good (more support for sit bones)

It takes maybe an hour and it's completely numb, once I've stopped riding and the feeling slowly comes back, it's curiously enjoyable. Most of my rides are over an hour now...........

Happened to me when i got a new bike and the only way i got comfortable was a saddle with a cut out channel,mine was from pro-lite but the specialized romin or toupe get good reviews,you don't have to worry about positioning the saddle to lose the numbness then,just get it in the right place

I get it occasionally but only when i'm wearing a heavy rucksack with all my work gear in.
