I rode a stationary bike at the gym very fast everyday and my ability to
pass water diminished..My Dr told me to try riding a different stationary
bike one with the pedals out front, a more comfortable seat and a back
board- ..He said that would probably not bother my prostate..
he was correct..the stationary bike with a seat and the pedals out front
does not bother my ability to pass water.
