I have heard something about impotence caused from cycling but I don't think it's right because a lot of cycling man are married with children, for example Mario Cipollini, Lance Armstrong and Ivan Basso. So I don't think that cycling causes impotence.

This has been discussed many times and I'm not sure if there's a definitive answer out there. However, if cycling did cause impotence then surly loads of pro cyclists (who may spend 30 hours a week on the bike) would be impotent. I don't think they are and it is never discussed in pro cycling.

I don't think cycling would cause you to be impotent. I have been cycling for many years already over different terrains and long distances. sometimes 120 kilometers in one run. That 's before I got married and now I have 2 kids.

Definitely not - I've been cycling for years, and I've never been affected in that particular way.
