Why does it sting when you pee after riding a bike?

Answer 1

If you are a new rider and/or have a poorly fitting saddle the extra pressure on a small and tender area of your body can cause some chafing.

Things to try are:

- try some special bicycling underwear

- try another saddle. Wider and softer isn't always better. Your sit bones will sink into the soft surface leaving the padding to squish up into your soft areas.

- ride harder. The harder you push on the pedals, the more weight will be carried by your legs as opposed to by your crotch.
