They can't even get consistency between headline and text.
"It suggests that cyclists in in their 50s who bicycle for more than nine hours a week may be up to five times as likely to receive a diagnosis of prostate cancer."

allegedly.
so boys keep it under 9 hours.
8 hours 59 minutes, all hunky-dory downstairs.
I guess (if it's true at all) there's a nice graph.

As you say I suspect the saddles need more research.
Though people that cycle 9 hours a week are likely to be fairly keen cyclists and may well have already changed saddles.

I can't wait for Dallas's comments on bike saddles.....

Many are now designed to relieve pressure on the prostate. However, it's important to get the right size for your arse and the right shape for your riding style. Good bike shops will measure you up properly; I wonder if many new cyclists have taken the trouble to replace the (usually tulipe) saddle that's delivered standard on a new bike. However, I also wonder how much difference the newfangled saddles make; it certainly feels better than the old ones without a cut-out, but I think it's one of those cases of 'more research is needed'.
