OMG... i hear that biking can cause fertility issues in men especially those who sit on their bikes for long periods of time. this is because the testes gets overheated and it hampers sperm production. Myth or fact?

Isn't this what happened to Lance Armstrong but I think he has 3 kids... so myth?? :D

I think Lance had those kids because he froze some sperm because he contacted testicular cancer.

But biking can cause low sperm count because the testicles get overheated. The same is true if you sit down on your chair for long periods of time.

And he recently got a girl pregnant from some of the sperm he backed before treatment. He has what, 4 or 5 kids now.. not bad for a testicular cancer survivor.

yey! hurrah for Lance!

At least he had the presence of mind to get his sperm frozen before chemo!

Yes, it's a fact..and many men suffer infertility issues because of this habit, that's why if you're still young and plan to have kids in the future, I think it's best to limit this habit, or better yet, stop!

Ahahaha... yeah good thinking on Lance's part. However was his testicular cancer related to his biking? Overheated testicles and all?

i read that this is not just for guys who bike. this goes for all males who sit for long periods of time. It would be better if you shifted position or stood up from time to time.

For testes not to get overheated, men need to change positions now and then when they are sitting for long periods of time. Getting up and taking short walks would also help the testes cool down.

I think it is just a coincidence that it happens. a prominent man in a certain town was fond of biking. not just a simple biking a kind of biking in the mountain/ mountain climbing. But he is a husband of five women of whom he has children. can you imagined that with those five women he has children. How he made it, we don't know!
