RodTi Posted July 30, 2007 Share THE FAMOUS THIRD TESTICLE: The cytologic and histologic findings from two cases of perineal nodular indurations observed in two cyclists are reported. These lesions' date=' also referred to as "accessory testicles" or "third testicle" or "ischial hygromas" of cyclists, consist of a localized aseptic area of necrosis with pseudocyst formation involving connective tissue in the superficial fascia of the perineum. These histologic findings, which were seen in the subsequent surgical specimens in these two cases, were reflected in the fine needle aspiration findings. The aspirates contained few cellular elements, mainly a few vacuolated histiocytes, against a background of fibrinous material. These indurations, which develop as a result of repeated, chronic microtrauma to the perineum impressed by the vibration of the saddle of the bicycle, constitute an authentic handicap for the professional cyclist and are a contraindication to cycling for amateur cyclists. [/quote'] Oh of course. Thanks Starclassic.It all makes sense now. Ja right.I actually have a better chance of understanding the design advantages of a single-pivot full sus than figuring out what that meant.... But I guess, in a nutshell - it means that continued trauma to your sit-bone area, results in you sprouting another, uhm, 'nad. Of sorts. I cringed just writing that. Who says cycling isn't cool....!!!RodTi2007-07-30 07:40:47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fed Posted July 30, 2007 Share Yes why not dry them on a washing line?Does it make them stretch? Yes. The SA sun is too harsh for dainty lycra and its new-age derivatives causing it to deteriorate rapidly. The end result is that shorts (and vest for those triathletes) dont fit properly anymore which leads to uneven surfaces that irritate and eventually cause infection. While I understand that not everyone has the means to purchase new clothing on a regular basis, I cringe when I see a guy riding a 30k bike complete with team kit (Phonak or Discovery/Postal) and the chamois is hanging between their legs like a army overall!
