Whenever I cycle for more than 20minutes I get temporary penile numbness which goes away after i stand-up or walk. Is it a concern? Should I stop cycling?

It might be due to pressure caused on the perineal nerves and you are getting a neuropraxia causing the transient numbness. you can try using better padded seats on your cycle.
