numbnuts

they should try your saddle murtle...

nothing wrong with my performance i can tell you :)

Introduction. The average bicycle police officer spends 24 hours a week on his bicycle and previous studies have shown riding a bicycle with a traditional (nosed) saddle has been associated with urogenital paresthesia and sexual dysfunction.

Fucking pitiful. Absolutely fucking pitiful.

Not to mention pitiful fucking

Yesterday I went from the sqare mile to soho for a meeting. At Bank junction I rolled up to 2 of our finest bike cops to whom I started chatting. I asked if they were coming to soho with me and they baulked. It's only a ten min ride. I replied. "We'd die. Thats too far." (and that was the fitter of the two.

at first I thought someone had to have their nose removed to repair their penis or something!

Check out the clinical expert "DR Steven Schrader"

I think professor presta would have something to say about this.

the underlying problem here is that the police have no idea how to setup a bike, nor dress appropriatley.

All the ones I see are ALWAYS wearing the same outfit of, thick polyster looking black combat trousers, a shirt, a stab vest, fucking MAGNUM BOOTS!, and all their heavy useless gear.

Yesterday it was roasting hot, and came up to a police woman plodding along in front of me, she was wearing a HI-Viz winter coat and looked so uncomfortable, I couldnt bring myself to overtake her.

The most obsurd thing though I think is the magnum boots, whos idea was it to make them standard issue for bike police? The only thing that grips well to DX pedals is skate shoes. It must feels so clumsy & hot. And their MTB's, front suspension AND knobbly tyres? so unecessary.

it's time they were issued with actual cycling specific clobber, along with some proper cycling training.

a fit person on a fast bike can get anywhere very quickly in this city.

London is small when you got 700cs

The problem is they are bound by heath and safety to wear steel toe caped boots which are always big and heavy (well mine have always been heavy but I don't buy expensive ones) and similarly they have to wear the heavy stab vests. I feel quite sorry for them really as you say there bike rarely fit them and they have big heavy cloths and boots to wear all the time.

They are always going to be slowish though as they have so much shit to carry. Even if they were on a bike with 700c wheels it would end up being a touring bike to carry all of their kit.

A reasonable argument, were it not for the fact that they get dropped by the cycling paramedics who carry, among other things, a defibrilator.

I read a thing about one of the if not the first bike paramedics. He was an ex smi pro BMX champ or something

Yep I was right.

Tom Lynch, met him at one of the bike shows. Nice fella.

Who do I talk to in order to sell them some SMP4Bike Saddles? LOL

Seriously though, this is an important area - there was a study done a few years back to design a saddle that protected the delicate bits but was still OK for serious / long distance cyclists - many of them were too wide to be conducive to easy pedalling.

The article is available here

A lot of cyclists I see about the place could benefit from getting properly fitted to their bike - that would be more beneficial than dropping a pile of wonga on a new saddle in many cases!

Riding fixed is probably better for you as you have to stand up more often, relieving any pressure and allowing the blood to flow normally.

It's easier to stand up on a gear bike.. far easier. Therefore you'd expect people to spend more time doing it.

I was just commenting on my own experience - I stand up more on the fixed when going up hills compared to the geared bike where I can sit down for the duration of the same ride.

My saddles fit me pretty well (after some trial and definite errors) but there's plenty of people riding round on saddles that will be causing them problems - one way to alleviate numbness is to stand up every twenty minutes or so.

having ridden for some time on both geared and fixed around london deff stand up more on geared

i have been toying with the idea of trying to get into a police bike chase but i just dont think it would be fair on them maybe if i waited now and then

Who likes short shorts??

I like short shorts...?

Well i did untill I wore some into work this morning... but forgot to bring my jeans to change into.... this is going to be one long embarrassing day.... Lucky my track saddle has put a stop to bonas. Otherwise it could have been worse.

• and what was that comment about standing up more because you ride fixed...? Get back in your saddle you poofoon!
