102. Solo Episode - Waxed Chains and Sleepy Soldiers

from My Back 40 · host Steve O'Shaughnessy

Inspired by Anthony Walsh’s recent podcast episode, Can Cycling Cause Erectile Dysfunction on the Roadman Cycling podcast, I wanted to break the ice a little with the guys and talk about ED. I wanted to break the stigma and talk a little about something that guys really hate talking about. It is said that almost 30%-50% of all men deal with some sort of ED and that generally, changes in diet and lifestyle can mitigate it.Cycling has been shown to NOT cause ED, so that numbness you might feel after a long ride isn’t indicative of the syndrome. That said, this discomfort can be dealt with by getting yourself a proper bike fit, as well as the proper saddle and riding attire.Before that awesome topic, I wanted to chat about waxing. No, not that kind of waxing. Chain waxing. I’ve been running a factory waxed chain for a few hundred maintenance free Km’s and I wanted to share that experience with you.
