Cold nads

[Parrot of Doom]

Is there anything to help this? Despite wearing plenty of layers, my tallywhacker has always shrivelled up from the cold and usually positions itself to point directly forward, touching the layers I'm wearing. So much so that you can't, ahem, "tuck it away" to get warm.

Its annoying, and I have a feeling that this will be a cold winter. 20-mile rides would be nicer if I could sort it out.

Tuck it away ??

I pull mine all up front and to the right fnar fnar and never have that issue, are you wearing decent base layers ?

[Fume troll]

Wear a sock?

Or invest in some good windfront type gear. http://www.jejamescycles.com/id40902.html

What layers are you currently using?

It's a sign of badly fitting saddle. You're squashing your "tinta"# so restricting the blood supply to your old chap.

I am not being facetious but about this time last year, running in lycra shorts, I think I got chilblains on my cock.

It was very cold and the old boy began to sting a bit - I hadn't been anywhere near any mucky women (or men for that matter), for decades, before anyone suggests it - but the sensation did not abate. In fact, when I got indoors, the warm air made it more noticeable.

I don't run particularly fast, and when I cycle I'm on an mtb, so I can only imagine the sort of wind-chill a road bike is capable of creating. Be warned and take care!

I wear decent cycling shorts, underneath quite heavy cargo shorts. There's a physical air gap between the two pairs. There's no numbness or discomfort, its just bloody cold!

I wear cycling shorts then a slightly baggy pair of over shorts and havent suffered from this as of yet...

Do you suffer from poor circulation as even though it has dropped a few degrees I don't have this issue, you could try some shammy cream or adjust your riding position so you are in more of a prone position ?

Cargo shorts will funnel cold up there nicely. What you have under them may or may not be windproof I suppose.

I'm thinking there's a market openning for a merino cock warmer.
Could this be the way I make my first million?

Funny enough I had the self same thing yesterday. Zero degress at 6.30 am and a wind chill of -4. By the time I got to work I was convinced I had frost bite in my bell end. I was only wearing a normal pair of baggy shorts with nothing underneath. Seemed to just funnel the cold air towards my pipio.

If it is a blood flow issue, try angling the front of yer saddle down. Very very slightly or yer arms end up taking a lot of extra load.
Restricted blood flow, nerve damage, etc - things to be avoided at all costs!

[Parrot of Doom]

Actually on closer examination today, I think the cycling shorts may be part of the issue. They don't seem to fit as well as my old ones, but as I mainly used them on the mountain bike, sitting more upright I never noticed.

I've already lost 3lbs since getting this new bike though (combined with a diet), so the problem may solve itself as my arse gets smaller
