If you don’t want a part of your body to get sore, then that part shouldn’t be pushing against something that doesn’t move along with it. That’s the thinking behind the vabsRider bicycle saddle, the two sides of which pivot in time with your pedaling.

        Thought the same, sitting on this things looks about as risky as teabagging the moving parts in an elliptical machine.

      They’ve had test subjects already. That contingency must have already been compensated for or it would never have made it to market.

      That being said, the visuals are horrifying.

      Still, I’d like to give it a try. I’m done having kids, regardless.

        Kids is one thing but I’m envisioning a balls version of the stick-in-the-spokes meme, with you writhing in agony in the road until an SUV comes along and puts you out of your misery.

        Might just sensually juggle them instead of chewing them like a Sami native.

          That might be an interesting ride. Maybe they’ll release the “XS” model next year.

        I can’t really tell from the visuals but it looks like they don’t really get that close together. The two sides seem like they say hello to each other, but they don’t really get that close. So presumably but there’s quite some gap in the mechanism.
