Cycling for sex

November 2005 sees Bicycling magazine's first ever 'Sex Issue' hit the newsstand, covering topics that include '15 ways cycling makes you a better lover', 'more saddle time leads to more straddle time' and 'what's a bigger turn on, a carbon fibre bicycle or silk lingerie?'.

19 Oct 2005

Bicycling editor Sean Badenhorst says: "Readers confirmed what we suspected all along. Regular cycling helps improve physical appearance, which gives people more confidence both in the boardroom and the bedroom. And greater confidence leads to more fulfilling lifestyles. And face it, sex is a prominent lifestyle activity."

Bicycling's November 2005 issue also tackles the controversial cycling-causes-impotence theory by sending one of its journalists to the German laboratory that leads the world in research on the alleged correlation between cycling and impotence.

"Some reader responses in our survey surprised us. Put it this way, we're expecting more adults to be asking for bicycles this Christmas."
