Oh yea, BTW, the ‘saddle’ on the new shiny bike is really hard. I have bike pants with a really big pad in them, when worn under my pants, I feel like I’m wearing Depends (or at least how I think Depends would feel). After riding for 10 miles last night, and getting on the new shiny bike this am, there is a particular part of my body that didn’t appreciate the ride.
I’m not quite understanding the reason for the hard plastic saddle with no built in padding. It can’t be to make the bike more aerodynamic, that part is covered by a really un aerodynamic part of your body? It’s obviously not built for comfort. Is it that way so you can pedal faster to get to where you are going, just to get off the uncomfortable seat? Maybe it’s for aesthetics. The big banana seats went out in the 80′s. Is the seat that way to allow your legs to move more freely without hitting pad?
If we’re going to wear shorts that feel like Depends with a big pad in them, why would it bad to have a seat with the pad already on it and wear regular shorts?
