We restricted analyses to 4921 males (1088 in SF and 3833 in PRESTO) who had been trying to conceive with their partners for \u22646 cycles at enrollment.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>PARTICIPANTS\/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>At baseline, male partners reported data on medical history, lifestyle, behavioral, anthropometric factors, and their PA levels using different instruments [SF: International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ); PRESTO: average annual hours\/week and type]. Both cohorts included additional questions on bicycling (frequency, bike seat type). After linking couple data at baseline, the female partner completed follow-up questionnaires to update their pregnancy status every 8\u2009weeks for 12\u2009months or until conception, whichever occurred first. We used proportional probabilities regression models to estimate fecundability ratios (FRs) and 95% CIs, controlling for potential confounders.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Average hours\/week of vigorous PA, moderate PA, and total metabolic equivalents of task were generally inversely associated with fecundability in SF, but not PRESTO. While there was little association with bicycling overall in either cohort, we observed an inverse association for bicycling using a \u2018soft, comfort seat\u2019 (\u22653 vs 0\u2009h\/week: SF: FR\u2009=\u20090.75, 95% CI: 0.53\u20131.05; PRESTO: FR\u2009=\u20090.81, 95% CI: 0.62\u20131.07) but not a \u2018hard, racing-style seat\u2019 (\u22653 vs 0\u2009h\/week: SF: FR\u2009=\u20091.16, 95% CI: 0.95\u20131.41; PRESTO: FR\u2009=\u20091.06, 95% CI: 0.89\u20131.28). Among males with BMI \u226525\u2009kg\/m2, associations with bicycling using a \u2018soft, comfort seat\u2019 were similar or stronger (\u22653 vs 0\u2009h\/week: SF: FR\u2009=\u20090.75, 95% CI: 0.45\u20131.24; PRESTO: FR\u2009=\u20090.73, 95% CI: 0.52\u20131.03).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Misclassification of PA was likely the most important study limitation because we ascertained PA only once at enrollment using different instruments in each cohort. We would expect misclassification of PA to be non-differential given the prospective study design. Additional weaknesses include the narrow range of PA levels evaluated, reduced precision when stratifying the data by selected covariates, and limited generalizability due to the large percentage of non-Hispanic White participants and restriction of the cohort to pregnancy planners.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Further evaluation of the potential deleterious effects of bicycling on male fertility, with additional consideration of the influence of bike seat type and BMI, may be warranted.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>STUDY FUNDING\/COMPETING INTEREST(S)<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study was funded by NICHD Grants R21-HD072326, R01-HD086742, R01 HD105863, and R03-HD094117.
