one for the boys only

This is a perfectly serious question right but I'm sure we'll get some interesting answers.

I am just getting back into cycling after a 4 year layoff.

I am concious that I am getting a little uncomfortable after half an hour or so but I know this will reduce in time.
Anyway my question is do any of you know which side of the saddle your tackle goes ? and is it constant throughout your rides?
I tried shifting my habitual riding position and realised mine is constant to the right ! never realised that before in 30 odd years

I don't know about anyone else, but mine hangs around the middle (so to speak) and bounces of whichever thigh is uppermost - if that makes sense?

Depends how cold it is.

But I think I pedal to the right.

Right, left up, down, fiddle, adjust, right, left, up, down, fiddle, adjust....... there's a pattern there somewhere.

Usually just strap it down to my left knee and leave it there.

 

[Rob S]

I leave mine at home.

...strap it along your top tube

Wish mine was small enough to allow me to dispense with the trailer

Hangs to the left, if not its uncomfortable and knocks 5 mph of my top speed

...ride with a 'lady's' frame and saw the front off your saddle for clearance brazilnuts peanut...

and that, Peanut, will teach you not to ask a sensible question.

Mind sort of balances in the middle, but I make sure that my shorts are really supportive. In this kind of weather I wear a long vest (base layers are for the 'morally corrupt') which goes all the way down to my gentleman bits and beyond. My bits are then well protected from the wind - and my wind is....oh, forget it.

I tie mine to the gate post before going for a ride. That way I can find my way back easily.

So you're into track racing...
