You mean a thread about the manifestation of potency among those who wear super tight lycra shorts? Don't forget to post pictures.

That concept is 180 degrees in the opposite direction than what I suggested.

However, I wouldn't mind it being what I wear on longer rides.

in conclusion, people that use drop bars must have none or a small one because there is no way you can bend so low and still be comfortable otherwise

How exactly did you come to that brilliant conclusion? Corner a paceline and examine every rider?

You just won't let this crap die will you? Sit on your freaking sit bones!
It is called being properly fitted and riding the appropriate saddle for your rear.

*chuckle* You're confusing cause and effect. Road bikes don't cause impotence-- impotence sufferers choose road bikes!

...and you are confusing impotence with having been married for a while.

Either way, drop bars or being married too long, the right coach can fix you up with cialis that is not detected in urine sample testing.

I thought it was clipless pedals that caused that. Or wearing a helmet with clipless pedals and no gloves. No wait, it's bicycle shorts.

I don't care. I have no use for my potence. My "singleness" is likely to be with me to my death.

Trust me, I feel your pain! I had a boyfriend who lost 'interest'...I decided that this was not in my best interests as a human being. In his case, though, it was because he was in love more with the bottle than anything else
