    I was thinking that if a ball trap device was used, a HT (holy trainer) may be the best bet. The plastic moulds to body heat a bit and would probably be more comfortable.
    What i did when i biked was just take it off (with permission). im not an animal, i didn't suddenly jack off. However, your Superior is the ones opinion whom you should listen to in this instance, not me.

    My cages have the integrated lock, with brass protrion at the top. Like you say, this piece can rub the skin raw. I use a small ankle sock -- I put my whole packed in the sock and it acts as a liner/buffer between the brass protrusion and the pubis skin at the top.

    I am an avid Mtn biker and I had problems when I wore my HTv2 mostly just being uncomfortable. I am in and out of the saddle a lot and getting "re situated" was always a problem. But since we switched to the Bijou(frenum) with no ring behind the balls I can ride without issue.

    Same as with other exercise I found good tight underwear, briefs or thong to work best. Holds everything in place.

    Similar story with me. For my week-day 'around the loop before work' 10-20 mile rides by myself, I'll usually just stay locked. For weekend rides, which tend to be in a group and be quite a bit longer (50-100 miles) and a lot more climbing, I'll always unlock.

    One of my biggest concerns is that there are enough blood-flow related issues related to cycling that adding another circulation-limiting thing doesn't seem to be worth the risk at all.

    I also have been back and forth. I’ve also found that it gets really uncomfortable around 30 miles. Tried a 30 mile ride recently with a cherry keeper stub. It was bearable but when I got back, it looked like I might have been developing blisters from the compression.
    Just don’t think it’s worth it for the longer rides anymore.

    If you're serious about working out, take off the sex toy while you do it. I've slipped a ball doing heavy squats, and no device will be comfortable while cycling.

    Have some priorities. If you have a keyholder, maybe work out a system with them that lets you take it off when getting changed for your workout and put it back on afterwards, or after a shower.

    I will never truly understand the "it must never come off" crowd. Airports, bike rides, shaving around the device......I get the "supervised" removals, but the stubborn refusal to remove the the sake of hygiene?

    Again, who thinks twice about taking off their underwear, tossing it into the laundry basket, and putting on a clean pair? Would you try to wash your underwear in the shower while wearing them?

    Maybe you "can" wear your device on a ride, but why?

    agreed the number of times ive been riding hard only to find when stopped at a junction that everything has gone numb down there... and thats without a cage!
    Id consider it for shorter local rides/commutes etc. on paved cycle paths,
    definately not when schredding the gnar on a mountain bike... I pick up enough scrapes and bruises crashing as it is!!
    and probably not on longer road rides as lest face it on a 50+ miler if hydrating correctly you will need to pee!

    that said if I was to consider longet rides ive always though that an ISM Adamo saddle may be a wise choice.
    They can be got in stub nose variety and have 2 noses, rather than a single central one.
    Bit more clearance for your bits!

    Well, mostly because I'm lazy, really. Taking the cage on and off is at least a little bit of a hassle, and since I find that I can do my daily local loop without unlocking, I just don't bother to ask for the key, remove it, then relock after, etc.

    Yeah, I will do my local 10 or 20 mile loop if I'm riding alone without bothering to unlock, but if I'm going for a long ride, or riding with friends, or anything more strenuous, it's not worth risking things. That's the balance that works for me, anyway...

    Finding the right saddle is a really personal thing... those split-nose styles don't work for me. The extra width leads to too much chafing especially at 100+ miles. I have gone the other direction, to a rather small, hard seat that is sized exactly so that my 'sit bones' are supported, and there's pretty much no padding to press anywhere else. Takes some time to get your body used to, particularly if you're used to a "cushy" seat, but once I got used to it, it was far more comfortable.

    Thanks RHer. Your answer makes good sense. I did not consider that angle.

    I suspect many endure because there is some sort of goodness attached to uninterrupted wear, but it's unfair for me to poke my nose at it. I actually admire people who can endure.

    That would have to be carefully sized.
    Is there any chance you'll end up like wearing a large humbler with wheels?
    Just flesh in lycra wouldn't be a problem but you could get a cage stuck in that fork!

    Bit of a thread resurrection here, but cycling is one of the things which I suspect is going to interrupt me being able to wear a cage. I currently have a cb3k which looks ludicrous under cycling shorts, but with a HT copy on the way. Will be interesting to see how much less obvious that is, but I still don't think I'll be wearing it on the bike.

    From what I understand, those adamo/split nose type saddles are popular with TT riders/triathletes as they'd often be more stretched out on the bike? I.e. their body is pivoted more forward so places more or different pressure on the perineum.

    I don't cycle in a group usually, but a cage would make popping into a field for a pee a bit more involved too...
