“I am now telling young men to go slow on the pedal,” he adds. Wamalwa says most young men undertaking vigorous biking exercises or cycling boda bodas for long hours may be gradually losing their manhood. Wamalwa’s team, which included reproductive health experts from Kenyatta National Hospital and the University of Nairobi, had investigated 115 boda boda riders, aged below 40, in Bungoma. The team, all practising medical doctors, associated long hours of bicycle riding to higher rates of ED among boda boda taxi riders. About half of the study subjects were boda boda riders, while the rest were noncyclists involved in the project for comparison purposes.
