I have always experienced some numbness in the toes on my right foot when I take long rides on my road bike. Lately, the condition has become much worse, with numbness in my lower leg and foot even on shorter rides, and even on my mountain bike, where I sit more upright. Not surprisingly, my doctor says the nerve that goes through my groin is being compressed by my saddle. He recommended a wider saddle, but that has not helped, and I obviously can't ride either bicycle with a gigantic cruiser saddle on it. One thing I have considered is one of those strange looking saddles that just has two pads for your buttocks, so that it does not compress the nerve in your groin. A quick search online found one called a Hobson Easy Seat. Any idea how effective these things are? Other ideas? I used to ride hundreds of miles every week. Being exiled from my bike is driving me nuts.
