Dennis Bell was a busy engineer in Huntington Beach, Calif., when he noticed it was time to slim down.

He bought a bicycle at a garage sale, but weight wasn’t all Bell lost to cycling.

"I started having boy problems because of the nose-on-the-saddle numbness, erectile dysfunction," said Bell, who now lives in Philipsburg, Montana.

While some men would have ditched the bicycle for the libido, Bell wanted both. An inventor holding more than 30 patents, he set out to create an alternative bike seat.

His brainchild is the MoonSaddle http://www.moonsaddle.com/ , a crescent-moon shaped, hornless bicycle seat made in the Flint Creek Valley.
