What are the dangers of cycling?

Many people have been riding bicycles since they were young, and the benefits of riding bicycles are well known. In fact, there are many dangers of riding bicycles, but we just don’t know about them. First, the bicycle seat is not very comfortable. When we sit on it, we will inevitably feel uncomfortable. Secondly, it is difficult for us to control the balance of the bicycle. In addition to this, what other dangers are there in riding a bicycle? Let’s take a look at it together.

1. Compression of the prostate. As for testicular cancer, I don’t think there is an essential connection. I have only heard of Armstrong, and everyone else is fine, so it is not a directly related event. Long-term compression can indeed easily cause lesions, but it is just a cause, not an absolute. There are many people who do not ride a bike but suffer from anterior lacrimal inflammation.

To address this kind of pressure situation, cushion manufacturers have currently launched a so-called zero-pressure cushion that can effectively alleviate the problem.

2. Knee injury

This seems to be a common problem among cyclists. Generally, improper riding posture and excessive force can easily lead to knee injuries.

It can cause your sexual ability to decline, make you a direct victim of car exhaust, and may also cause osteoporosis.

It is undeniable that cycling has many benefits. Many countries promote cycling by saying "it is good for physical exercise", "it is beneficial to environmental protection", "it can alleviate traffic congestion and insufficient parking lots", etc. The World Health Organization also advocates riding a bicycle when traveling, based on the fact that "lack of exercise" is the second leading cause of death, second only to "smoking", which ranks first.

However, in recent years, many research reports have been published showing that cycling can impair sexual performance in both men and women. It seems that cycling alone is not a foolproof solution.

On the other hand, a British group that calls for the promotion of cycling and walking as modes of travel published a survey report that concluded that if the cost of buying a bicycle is one, it will bring a twenty-fold return in terms of savings on medical and transportation expenses. Compared with walking, cycling is 3-4 times more energy efficient and 4 times faster.

Especially the recent continuous rise in international oil prices has also prompted cycling to become a new and popular way of travel.

Against this backdrop, the world bicycle market, which had suffered from sluggish sales for a period, has regained its momentum, with sales increasing by 10% since 2009. Annual production now reaches more than 100 million units, doubling in the past 20 years.

Bicycles are the enemy of sexual performance

Did you know that in the United States, the world's largest automobile country, more than 40,000 male civil servants, such as policemen and firefighters, spend a long time on bicycles to perform their duties? With the increasing traffic congestion in metropolitan areas, more and more people are using bicycles to perform emergency tasks. However, follow-up surveys of these people show that many people have problems with sexual dysfunction. In particular, people who ride bicycles for more than 25 hours a week report symptoms such as "sexual insensitivity", "difficulty in achieving an erection", and "chronic testicular pain".

Although there are many dangers in riding a bicycle, it does not mean that we should stop riding a bicycle. We can still ride a bicycle when we are bored. The important thing is to pay attention to our own safety and not cause safety problems because of riding a bicycle. This is not good and it is something we don’t want to see.
