Women cyclists are having severe issues with their external genitalia due to the design of bike saddles. Sometimes it’s so severe that they need surgery to remove parts of their labia: half the women on one UCI world tour team have had labioplasty surgery or have tissue damage severe enough to change how they can sit on a bike. As a majority male sport, it’s an issue that doesn’t get enough attention.
