Side-effects to unicycling??

Are there any long term side effects with unicycling
mainly focusssing on the area of inefficient gonads?
i am not personally concerned, or anxious about anything, it just seems interestingly absurd and funny
just curious
and have can any of u actually boast, after bashing ur 'nads for the umpteenth time, that you have NEVER wondered if you could be doing some serious damage for the future??:P

The long-term side effects of unicycling include great friends, better fitness, and an active mind. When practiced for extended periods of time, it may result in unusual experiences and a generalized feeling of fulfillment.

About a month ago I cut the back of my right leg very painfully on a pinned pedal, during a freak Coker fall. Part of the freak fall involved *ahem* bouncing on the saddle violently a couple of times.

Trouble with the Australian Boys. It hurt so much Down Under that I didn't even notice the cuts to my leg until I'd walked home and sat down for a bit.

Therefore: maybe it gives you superhuman pain endurance? Or more likely, it just distracts you for a short while with something that hurts more. I certainly seek to avoid that kind of experience ;-)

If your gonads are on the side, you've got other problems.



As far as I know we're still waiting for a verified case of permanent gonad damage and death by unicycle.

Long term side effects of unicycling may include:

-Chick Magnetism
-Extreme Chick Magnetism
-Mad Steeze.

Check with your doctor if you have any liver conditions, heart problems, or ego inflammation before you begin unicycling.

style+ease=steeze

one side effect, if not learned before becoming a unicyclist, is wanting to juggle.

I've never heard any reports of impotence (other than briefly) or infertility associated with unicycling.

And I'll add very little associated with bicycling; the guys most affected are hardcore roadies who spend many hours a day in the saddle. Even unicyclists that ride tons of hours spend less time sitting down unless they are long distance roadies themselves.

Usually impotence is caused by a lack of blood flow for extended amounts of time. Unless your a distance rider with a really bad saddle you should not have a problem.
Free style on the other hand if you drop from a few feet and land weird it might be such a probability that you could happen to rip your nutsack off/open when landing on the seat hard.
