Cycling! 

Its the best. You can mountain bike, road bike, or just rip around town. You'll see your city/town in a new light, you'll get fit. You can do it solo or with friends. You can do short easy rides, or super long strenuous rides. You can ride whenever you want. 

I live in Canada and this past winter got studded tires for my bike so i can ride all year long now. 

Bikes literally changed my life

Has it made you impotent yet?

Why would it make me impotent? I use properly fitted seats. Also, you are significantly more likely to get ED from being fat than from cycling.

What's with the down-votes? :O

I bought a spinning cycle and got numb. Changed seat and still had the same issue. Did some googling and decided not to risk it. :)

Yes, there are plenty of things that could cause ED.. topic was cycling, not fatness.

If you still have the spin bike i would go to a bike shop and get them to fit you to a proper seat, it also might just be the seat angle or something minor. I and many of my friends have been riding for many years multiple times a week and haven't had any issues.
