I read somewhere that bike riding ( 3 hours a week or more) can lead to infertility. Its didn’t say anything about unicycling, but I would think it would be even worse, right? Especially if your doing muni and jumps and things
no. not true in my oppinion.
Not true with unicycling. Especialy with jumps, you stand up on the pedals to far away from your “stuff” and you have the comfy saddle too…
And there havn’t been any cases of infertility from unicycling.
I’m not sure so I’ll ask my kids.
haha okay i was just wondering
i dont have a penis anyways
Well…the penis doesn’t have much to do with a male’s ‘fertility’.
Anyway. No, this is probably not true.
I don’t know what you guys are talking…my unicycle is infertile.
Infertility for men or women? I haven’t heard of this. What I have heard of is impotence (men), which can be caused by many hours of riding on a saddle that focuses pressure on the rider’s centerline. Lots of bike saddles today have channels down the center, and so do some uni saddles.
There is no documentation on infertility for unicyclists, though I can offer plenty of anecdotal examples of numbness!
Im sure it can happen though.
Ever been riding for hours and your crotch goes numb?
Im sure prolonged exposure to that pressure and lack of blood going there can cause problems.
But youd have to be kidna dumb to let yourself go numb down there and not do anything about it.
omg it’s her!
hahaha
but anyway, I don’t think so.
I haven’t heard of anyone having problems like that, and if they did it would probably be pretty well known.

Ahhhh it’s Veronica hahaha… anyway… yeah pretty sure you can’t become infertile from unicycling…
Hey,
Veronicafarren is back . Welcome back I guess…
I’m sure a guy could do damage but I don’t see how it could cause infertility…
I can prove that it doesn’t: Did you ever try to stuff a uni into a wallet? Or get upset when you accidentally look in your daughter’s dresser and find out she’s on the unicycle? Stop guessing and try using science.
Her first thread back after that long stalkerish one and she throws this out there. You have got to be my favorite forum user ever.
Wanna find out? giggity giggity. Sorry hun
That’s all bunk (fake news) IMHO. Fake scare stories by people who want to sell you a new fangled unusual bicycle saddle.
There have been studies but they studied people who ride lots and lots and lots. Those are people who ride with skinny race oriented saddles and was before the days of cutout saddles that are supposed to relieve pressure on the nerves down there.
Don’t worry about it. Even on unicycles. If you’re concerned then get the new KH Fusion saddle with the cutout down the middle. Nobody here has complained about lasting effects from unicycling that I can recall.
I don’t know whats funnier. Uniccyling making you sterile… Or the fact that most of the people commenting on the subject arn’t even old enough to have sex. True enough, it’s a situation a person should address before it turns into a bigger problem. But can any of you actually say that you are fertile? Can anyone actually say that unicycling makes you sterile based on fact? Has anyone actually gone into the doctor and been tested? I personally have, but it was for circumstances other then unicycling. Now over the long term it could be a different story, but I can honestly say I’m “cool be1ans”. All I can say is if you definately don’t wanna be sterile, DON’T DO DRUGS!!!
being sterile isn’t always bad.
Nice
