My seat beats my...backside



Having the right seat is essential.

A few years back, the pros used a leather seating arrangement, they had to go through a major break-in period, where the seat would eventually conform to a persons...anatomy. This break-in period was not exactly a pleasant experience.

Things have come a long way in the seating industry, but there are some main variations that seem to be worth the money to obtain. A "seat" a "saddle", if your trendy you ride a saddle, ok. I just like my bum to be bearable in order to make it through work the next day.

When you sit in the "saddle", you put most of the weight on your ischial tuberosities; those are the bones that connect with the padding. Thin seats, like the Road or Racing saddle give the best ride, however, you can choose a good cutaway saddle if you need to protect the goods.
