Guys, when i go for a 20 min session on the stationary cycle afterwards i experience some fairly bad pins and needles/numbness/aching in the inner thighs and groin. I'm aware that cyclists will often suffer from body parts going to sleep, but am surprised I am getting this in my home gym!

Anyone experienced this or have any ideas? I'm sure its probably my posture or something...?
 
I read a long time back that the shape of a bicycle seat will compress one of the main veins in the crotch. After repeated use (I'm talking months and months), it could lead to impotence.

I can't say why you're getting those sensations after only 20 minutes, though.
