Among all outdoor activities, biking is widely loved for its low difficulty and high flexibility. You might not know this, but biking is not only easy and relaxing—it actually comes with many benefits.
1. The bike seat should not be too high and should be somewhat elastic to prevent your hips from swaying side to side while riding, reducing local friction.
2. Sit upright on the bike seat and apply balanced force with both legs to avoid excessive strain on one side, which could lead to swelling.
3. Sanitary pads, menstrual belts, and shorts should be made of soft material. It’s best to ride less or not at all during menstruation. 
4. If the bike seat is too hard, you can use a foam plastic cover to make it softer and reduce friction against the groin area.
5. Adjust the height and angle of the bike seat. If the seat is too high, your hips will inevitably sway sideways while riding, which can easily cause abrasions in the perineal area. If the front of the seat tilts upward, it can more easily injure the perineum.
6. When biking for extended periods, remember to change your posture to shift your body’s center of gravity and avoid prolonged pressure on any one part of the perineal area.
7. When first riding a geared bike, don’t go too fast or ride for too long. Wait until your body adapts before increasing speed or duration.
8. While biking, if you notice any discomfort in the perineal area, find out the cause promptly. If it’s due to an issue with the seat, fix or adjust it as soon as possible. Make sure to rest and wait until the symptoms disappear before biking again. If the symptoms persist, consult a doctor for examination and treatment.
