I am a intermediate biker. Pedal variety. I have a Gary Fisher 'Tarpon' with 2" 'Slicks' on the frame for pavements. I go at it fairly hard for about 15-25 miles a clip 3 days a week. I wear padded Mountain Biking shorts, not spandex that seroius racers wear. My problem, being a guy, is that my 'personal area':funn:goes 'numb' quite easily, like a foot falling asleep. Why is this? And how might I prevent it from occurring? Thanks. All serious responses appreciated. But I do realize I left myself open for some classic one or two liners. Have at it!

Seriously the bike shorts really don't hide anything. I was at Starbucks the other day when the peddling gang came in for the bathroom and free water. :roll: I could have told you which bikers were jewish!

Serious issue though....
The seat is important but it also has to do a lot with how much you LEAN forward on the seat. If you are not a mountain bike racer you should have a short stem (insert joke here) or perhaps a stem with a steeper rise. 90mm length with a 10-15 degrees rise. Your current stem should have a measurement on it.
Perhaps a riser handlebar would help as well. bikenashbar.com
has affordable prices. Also try qbike.com to search for parts.
also check to make sure you seat tip doesn't rise at the tip. many people have a very slight dive on the front.
