This thread could probably be merged with the soap in the prison shower thread of several years ago (Butt Butter.... geez, there's a mental picture).

Please, no flaming, I am KIDDING!

Seriously. My flight physician, while checking me for my every six month physical during the time Lance Armstrong was dealing with the testicular cancer, remarked during 'that part' of the exam about how I had never been into 'biking'..... he seemed to know I had not been smashing the junk on that type of seat.

I, smiling, said I can usually do 500 miles a day on the Gold Wing, less on the Harley, especially above 80MPH. He laughed, said no, road biking, like pedalling with the 'read my lips' pants on the rock hard seat. I asked him if there was a relationship between that style of seat / riding and that type of cancer, and he looked at me like I was really that dumb. Of course, the traumatic injuries from prolonged exposure to that type of riding, he said, WERE the main cause of that type of cancer. I had no idea. I asked if those guys knew that. He said 'Obviously not'......

Ever since then, it seemed to me like I saw a lot of the 'hole-in-the-middle' type of seat, or wider, more butt-friendly seats rather than the nut rack seats. And again I ASSumed it was the Lance Armstrong connection that had done that.

Is there really no connection?
