i'm riding way more than 8 hrs a week for many years and had no complains so far. should i be worried now! How would you notice that there is a problem?

i read that when you start having problems with urinating then it's time to reduce your time on the bike
I heard the Hobson Bike Seat provides a pain-free relationship between your most sensitive body parts and the bicycle seat.
Current research studies from leading urologists documented that sitting on a conventional triangular shaped bicycle seat with just 12% of the rider’s weight can compress the perineal arteries leading to discomfort and numbness in men.
The Hobson Seat eliminates the center horn of regular bike seats, removing pressure and allowing the natural flow of blood in arteries. The Hobson has two seatpads that allow the rider to sit on their “sit bones.”
Designed by the top bicycle seat maker in Italy, Selle Italia, the Hobson Seat is lightweight-weighing only 12 ounces. It also sports Lycra gel and foam covered seatpads, a separate seatpad adjustment scale and a SteadiTrac adjusting system. The Hobson Seat has two rails which fit on a a 7/8-inch diameter seat post.*
*Hobson Seat does not include a seat post and will not adapt to a triangular or square stationary bike seat post. Usually it costs around US$ 59
