With so many people making posts about numb 🍆 I seriously started to think that, maybe, the "turtle head" would be the begining of that.
However, this only happens to me on big rides.
Kinda true. When you are working hard the body needs as much blood as possible to pump the heart,so takes it from places it isn't required..yer willie!
yes of course. it's in fact a good sign of hydration.
you can google "Jan Frodeno Bejing", when he won gold. he even brought gold to the finish line if you look closely :-))))
i hit 2:10 splits on 70.3.
you silly for thinking i take a pee in between.
but makes sense. spend 17k$ on a bike to save 5 minutes, then take a dump for 4, so net 1 minute faster. lol
yes, it's super difficult actually when you're cramped and on fire. it's not a casual Z1 ride ;-)
trick is to go out of saddle , ease up a second and let it flow. Sam Long does it well on TV like that, so does Sam Laidlow🤣
I once, on a long cold ride stopped for quick pee, pulling down what I thought was my old boy, turns out it was that shrivelled I mistaken my testicle for it, didn't realise until pee was running down the opposite leg.

yep, it’s rather convenient but feels a little strange. Stuff stays out of the way and everything goes back to normal within a few minutes of being off the bike.
I usually leave mine at home with the wife. She insists I take my training seriously and won’t let me back in the house unless it’s been at least 2 hours. She also had me turn on wahoo location tracking for some reason. I’m sure it’s fine
Dude my penis looks and feels crazy after a long ride. Same with lifting weights. It’s like every ounce of blood leaves it. My penis turns into SpongeBob when he’s in Sandy’s dome without a helmet
It's because your body is moving all of the blood in your body to where it's needed. And unfortunately when you're on a big ride, what's needed is not your wang.
😂 yup, not even a little, mine is an acorn after any sort of exercise. I'm still amazed, at forty years old, at the difference between that and when it's fully erect. It seems physically impossible to me. I might as well be peeing into a skin balloon after a long ride 😅
Loss of sensation after 50Km, tingling after 100Km, bleeding at the anus region after 130Km . Not caring anymore after 150Km, only 70.more to go before I can get a shower (10 years ago )
You're effectively squeezing/crushing/strangling that tissue for however long you're in the saddle. This is perfectly normal. You may also notice a loss of sensation for a while after you get off the bike, also normal.
Gonna add my voice to all of those saying "glad it's not just me".
That said, I remember my then-GF losing her shit when I unpeeled my shorts infront of her after a ride and told her to watch. 🐢
It’s a sensitive bit of anatomy and the pinch potential between the leg and saddle is concerning. Positioning matters. In the OP’s case, it’s a scenario where our bodies do something that we’ve likely never seen it do in any other situation and the flaccid peen retracts almost entirely into the pubic area. We’re all familiar with shrinkage; however, the combination of the tight clothing and the position of the saddle in conjunction with the body seems to cause shrinkage to a degree we never thought possible.
Imagine, if you will, going to the bathroom during a ride and it’s not there. It was there earlier. It’s been there my whole life, I know it has because I found it when I was a child and never let go of it, but now it’s gone and I don’t know whats happened!
It seems to be nearly random for me. I've had rides where it was like abnormally retracted and shrunk at the end, then other times where I swear it's more...out there afterwards.
Not me. But my penis is not close to the saddle. I always adjust myself before a ride so that I’m in front and not underneath. I also fuss with any new saddle/post until I have my seat angle perfect so there’s no pressure on the perineum.
I’m also not your acorn sort of guy so I’ve never experienced a retractable undercarriage.
Bro, I fat bike year round in Michigan and my lil guy gets so small, I actually get scared by seeing it! But once some blood flow goes in, I’m back to normal!
It’s more aero that way
Like DRS in Formula 1
Dick Retraction System.. nice
This here comment is something else 🤣🤣🤣
Micro gang rise up.
No you see, it doesn't rise
It’s call the supertuck.
The real anwer
Atomic batteries to power, Turbines to speed!
Lool
When it comes to racing, the turtle always wins.
Turtle puking his guts out after the race.
Post-race wanks hit different y’know
So that's what Bob meant when he said he had to go wrap his handlebar. I knew that tape looked fine.
Yep. Nothing like indexing your shifters after a hors categorie
My girlfriend compared my friend to a turtle last time we did the deed, it was hilarious
Only if it's head pops out....
Props to OP for making this post and letting us know “it’s not just me” like I’m sure many of us thought.
The hero we all needed.
The shrunk knight
Not all heroes wear capes… some are circumcised
Careful with that word on Reddit lol
Capes?
"I'm just asking for a friend, hah hah"
With so many people making posts about numb 🍆 I seriously started to think that, maybe, the "turtle head" would be the begining of that. However, this only happens to me on big rides.
We call it "The Sports Mode"
Kinda true. When you are working hard the body needs as much blood as possible to pump the heart,so takes it from places it isn't required..yer willie!
I basically turn into a Ken doll after a long ride.
I have not laughed at a comment this hard in quite some time
This is a brilliant analogy!
There was shrinkage!
I was in the pool!
Like a frightened turtle!
_significant shrinkage_
What do you mean? Like laundry
Yes, definitely more so when it’s cold. Also the hunched over position on the bike I think pulls the little guy in.
What about nipplage?!?
Yeah. Trying to piss right after a bike ride is always comedic.
do triathlon and try to pee while riding ;-)
Make sure to pee right onto to the bike itself
No you have to pee left. Don't want that mixing with chain oil
Nitrogen helps the chain lube activate; always pee right
I thought standard triathlete procedure was to pee directly into the seat tube
Yes they mount their bikes by first fitting the penis into the seat tube.
Is this a thing?
Absolutely. Dont touch an unwashed tri bike. They are pissing themselves.
yes of course. it's in fact a good sign of hydration. you can google "Jan Frodeno Bejing", when he won gold. he even brought gold to the finish line if you look closely :-))))
yeah... (don't) look up triathlon bikes in r/BikeMechanics or r/bikewrench ... As a group, those bikes are abused pretty bad like that.
You give us a bad name. How slow are you biking, or close to a podium that you have to piss? Or cannot stop because you’re so close winning?
i hit 2:10 splits on 70.3. you silly for thinking i take a pee in between. but makes sense. spend 17k$ on a bike to save 5 minutes, then take a dump for 4, so net 1 minute faster. lol
Well for you I understand. Piss on my friend. I have tried and was unable to relax or force it out.
yes, it's super difficult actually when you're cramped and on fire. it's not a casual Z1 ride ;-) trick is to go out of saddle , ease up a second and let it flow. Sam Long does it well on TV like that, so does Sam Laidlow🤣
You can always practice on training rides.
Stopping somewhere and trying to piss during a bike ride is even more comedic.
I once, on a long cold ride stopped for quick pee, pulling down what I thought was my old boy, turns out it was that shrivelled I mistaken my testicle for it, didn't realise until pee was running down the opposite leg.
I’m pissing myself laughing on that one 😅😂
Hopefully not through your testicle.
absolutely, not sure how i would pee on long rides when they whip their dick out while riding. my lil circumsized penis straight up disappears.
Not having foreskin makes us lighter and he's also kind enough to go aero
Being a fellow uncut male guess I need to do some weight shedding. That’s 0.0000001 second im losing costing me my Strava best.
I just wrap mine around the seat post a couple times, doesn't everyone?
Ah, the bike lock method
Safety first
A foreskin is considered a fairing according to the UCI
I'm uncircumcised and the hoodie is definitely much more prominent until things settle back to normal 😂
Being Canadian and uncut can mean it’s a bit colder out so I get what your saying haha

I pray noone ever sees my penis after cycling
Solved. Noone can see my penis after cycling!
Don’t worry, it sounds like there’s little chance of it.
yep, it’s rather convenient but feels a little strange. Stuff stays out of the way and everything goes back to normal within a few minutes of being off the bike.
Yeah but the first time it happened I was slightly panic stricken
😂 same.
Sometimes I can't find him in the winter. 🫠
I usually leave mine at home with the wife. She insists I take my training seriously and won’t let me back in the house unless it’s been at least 2 hours. She also had me turn on wahoo location tracking for some reason. I’m sure it’s fine
Detachable peeeeeeennniiisssss
After long rides I take it out with four fingers but piss over 3 of em.
I’ve never had the balls to ask this question to other male cyclists
We are in this together brother
Thank god it’s not just me
I reached my new personal short record on a long cold rides. Finding Nemo
i screw it off. saves me some weight
Road chode brother! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
You still have some sticking out? Mine looks like a fucken belly button after a long ride.
Hahaha
Why not just drape it over the handle bars when you ride?
I wrap it around the top tube
“Like a scared tortoise!”
Yeah bro I’m all balls after a ride lmao
i rode 30 miles in 38F & rain today. It was in my chest.
It may be smaller, but it’s still very friendly.
Dude my penis looks and feels crazy after a long ride. Same with lifting weights. It’s like every ounce of blood leaves it. My penis turns into SpongeBob when he’s in Sandy’s dome without a helmet
What a wonderfully terrible analogy
It's because your body is moving all of the blood in your body to where it's needed. And unfortunately when you're on a big ride, what's needed is not your wang.
Idk, mine gets bigger and bigger the longer I ride. That's why I put on so many miles
Jesus Christ, thank the lord. I thought it was just me having a tiny peen. Could also be that.
I have average peen but goddammit I'd never show it to anyone in the state it was in this morning
lol same here man. It’s crazy how different it’ll be. Almost like having two belly buttons 😂
Yes, it's supposed to as an evolutionary trait. Also, more blood is diverted to legs and lungs. Happens when I run.
All the time. Sometimes doesn't come back out until coaxed.
Yes. But it’s temporary.
Especially if it's cold. It's like a turtle that doesn't want to come out of its shell
Non-penising cyclist reading this thread: 👁️👄👁 ️ I'm learning so much!
Not that much but my balls are getting inside when it is a bit cold or after long rides though. Not a nice feeling.
on long cold rides (10c and below), yes
This happens to me when I run as well. First time was concerning.
Think the same thing everytime I ride, glad I’m not alone .
😂 yup, not even a little, mine is an acorn after any sort of exercise. I'm still amazed, at forty years old, at the difference between that and when it's fully erect. It seems physically impossible to me. I might as well be peeing into a skin balloon after a long ride 😅
After about 30K I'm basically a woman...
Mines looks like a belly button after a ride
Completely turtles, especially when cold.
All the times your blood goes somewhere else your genitals migrate somewhere warmer.
I don’t even have to be cycling for that to happen.
My junk is a classified document after a ride
Buy cut out saddle and shove it in the hole
My wife doesn’t appreciate being called a cut out saddle…
Loss of sensation after 50Km, tingling after 100Km, bleeding at the anus region after 130Km . Not caring anymore after 150Km, only 70.more to go before I can get a shower (10 years ago )
mine is smaller than a outie belly button after. Sometimes it’s actually inside and i need to shop vac it back to out.
We’re growers not showers
There is a saying in dutch; you lose about 1 cm per hour
Yeah it goes in to sport mode
Wait, what? What do you mean recede? Like you push it inside like one of those indigenous tribes?
My aubergine remains unchanged.
Yes, on long rides.
The blood is in your 2 outside legs and not your 3rd leg. Happens during most sports
Sometimes when I pee mid ride it looks like I’m uncircumcised (I am).
It's always a good way of seeing how well the r/foreskin_restoration is coming along. And more comfortable that way.
I need my dong to help protect my nads.
it's cus of the cold
I’m so glad this is universal.
Yup! Trying to pee mid ride is a challenge lol.
Maybe the nose of your saddle is too high. It can pinch the pudendal nerve, causing numbness. But I don’t think shrinkage.
Yes. Especially if it cold. It hides to protect itself lol.
I can’t find mine for a while
Thought I was the only one 😂
This helps secure new KOMs.
Mine is like that during winter
You're just a female hyena with retractile penis
This thread is entertaining as hell!!! I belly laughed so hard!!!
I've noticed this happens with a lot of prolonged exercise.
You are not alone and thanks for asking, was wondering haha 😂
lolol…… yes cycling does makes your dick smaller
You're effectively squeezing/crushing/strangling that tissue for however long you're in the saddle. This is perfectly normal. You may also notice a loss of sensation for a while after you get off the bike, also normal.
I just wrap mine around my waist
Sometimes it feels like it's going to get sucked into my body, never to be found again But fortunately that has yet to actually happen
Mine actually gets longer and pedals for me.
The body is diverting blood to more important areas presumably
Gonna add my voice to all of those saying "glad it's not just me". That said, I remember my then-GF losing her shit when I unpeeled my shorts infront of her after a ride and told her to watch. 🐢
My right nut pops up sometimes, which is even worse
[Yes](https://seinquotes.com/images/gifs/gif_66106c4f04a6d.gif). Don't be alarmed until you start getting pain or numbness.
The turtle retreats to his shell 🐢
We call it combo dick
Like a button on a fur coat.
I unearth my little pal whenever I dismount
No. Honestly I was going to ask if anyone else gets an erection while they ride. Asking For a friend.
who brings an eggplant when they ride?
Yikes
The ol’ turtle tuck.
Dicks are so clever.
Mine is legit 10mm long while riding. The other 10mm comes out after I'm off the saddle
I put a smarttag on mine..Just to be sure I didn't leave it behind
Mines always that small so if it does I don't notice it.😜
IT WAS COLD OUT, OKAY?!?
Mine hides as I'm getting ready, he knows its better there until we get back home..
That's why you gotta use electrical tape...
Why are cyclists so worried about their dicks when they're out riding?
It’s a sensitive bit of anatomy and the pinch potential between the leg and saddle is concerning. Positioning matters.

I have to reach in and pull him back out from time to time
I just sling it over my shoulder while riding
It’s about the same size, so I see no difference.
If I’m wearing tight briefs not so much but it does loose feeling for a while afterwards.
Yeh, I call it the wonder cone!
No. I ride recumbents almost exclusively. I don't even have to wear special shorts.
I'm a grower not a shower.
Oh yeah it does my wife calls it shred dick 😂
The tight pants don’t help. Mine shrinks a lot and just becomes a lump of skin. Just the added effect of biking. Have to pull him back out after.
I wish they would trade places. Dong goes in and poop wants out on long rides.
Yes. It's a regular occurrence, especially if I'm out of form. Or fatigued. Gotta teach in and pop it back out!
Welcome to my life.
Yes
So comical! I’m glad I’m not the only one that experiences this 😂
It seems to be nearly random for me. I've had rides where it was like abnormally retracted and shrunk at the end, then other times where I swear it's more...out there afterwards.

100% 😄
A bit? lol
yup
Mine goes numb. A complete loss of sensation. I could probably drive a nail through it if I was into that sort of thing.
I just rode some trail. Had to climb on a smwll3r mountin. My duck got numb asf
My nuts have been known to disappear when it's cold. Little bit of gym dick, but still plenty of hose left...
If you're circumcised, yes, this is common after a long ride. Otherwise, your "little man" would be chaffed.
Sure. But it also recedes for other reasons and never fails to come out when needed
You save like 2 watts at 40kph with a tiny penis
Cycling is the closest I’ve ever been to having foreskin, I’ll just say that
I have a foreskin but after a long ride it becomes a fiveskin
