Got this in an e-mail. Never heard of this before?
I do believe your members should have truthful medical based information on bicycle saddles and the health consequences and the fact the no-nose saddles are the only saddles that have the scientific studies to show their effectiveness in alleviating this problem.
There are several web links that may be useful to your readers.

International Police Mountain Bike Association (IPMBA) has an article from the Chicago Police Department about implementing noseless bicycles into their police force. http://ipmba.org/newsletters/NoselessSaddles-NIOSHWorkplaceSolutions.pdf
