Ouch.

I rode my bike today for the first time in about 13 years. Long time I know. It is true, you never forget how to ride a bike, but I did forget how uncomfortable bike seats are! Seriously, how can anyone enjoy riding a bike when the seats hurt so darn bad! It was a good ride, but my bottom is paying for it today. Who knows maybe if I keep riding I will get use to it, or maybe it will get worse?! Someone seriously needs to reinvent bike seats!

I agree! I love riding my bike, but the after effects are killer. I feel like I'm walking like a penguin for the next two days! Since I've started riding more, I think it's gotten a little more comfy...of maybe I'm just more used to it. We'll have to go on a bike ride sometime!

Hi Sue! I bought a new bike about a month ago and I love it! It cost a little more but Ryan talked me into a "comfort bike". It has the ability to ride trails but is mainly for comfortable road riding. The seat has springs for shocks and is nicely padded. My butt still falls asleep after about 8 miles but it is 100% better than the regular bike I test road. If you're liking riding, invest in a comfort seat from a bike shop. If you really like riding, invest in a new bike. It really does make all the difference! Good time riding. :)

They now have the best seats. I bought one from Walmart and it is just a rectangle. You don't have to have it between your legs and it is so comfortable. Hope you guys are doing well. Take Care, Leslie Oaks

Suzie- I'm dying to get myself a bike. As soon as I do, I would love to go on some rides!
