Our expert answers a few quickies

Can riding really make me impotent?

I suppose it’s possible, but highly unlikely because fitness is a positive factor for sexual function. Cycling is just an easy target.

Am I better off spending my money on a more aero bike or more aero clothing? I’d say neither. You’re better off spending money on better food and sleep. If pushed

I’d go with the bike because everybody likes riding a nice bike.

Should I be trying to pull up on a pedal stroke as well as push down?

Not consciously. It’s worth doing occasional drills but only to learn how not to have weight on the non-working leg. The fastest riders are always those who press down hardest on the pedals.
