Is it the saddles we ride on or something else? The BBC report on their website that Elite racing cyclists' should freeze their sperm before undertaking thier career.
The BBC write:
"They (Researchers) found sperm quality drops dramatically with rigorous training.
The Spanish study of top triathletes found those who cover more than 186 miles (300km) a week on their bikes have less than 4% normal looking sperm. At such levels, men would have "significant fertility problems", the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology heard.
Men training for triathlons are spending much more time in the saddle than the average social cycler or someone who might cycle to and from work
However, a UK expert said the average man cycling to work would be unlikely to suffer fertility problems because of their time in the saddle."
