The problem is the intense pressure that conventional saddles put on the sensitive perineum area and this not only leads to numbness in both men and women but also potential health issues such as erectile dysfunction, urinary tracts infections, boils and irritation. A US study recently showed that riding with a noseless saddle resolves these problems and ECD has more information on this and other issues on its website (www.ecdsports.com). They have just launched a new noseless saddle and it was tested by Tom Kevill Davies, the Hungry Cyclist, on a road trip to Paris recently – he was very positive about the benefits (http://www.thehungrycyclist.com/blog/2009/06/ecd-introduce-radical-new-cycling-seat.html).
