Which bicycle seat is right for you?

​
​The search for the perfect bicycle saddle should begin with the following questions:
- How often do I want to ride?
- How far do I want to ride?
- How fast am I going to ride?

---

If you are a casual rider putting in less than 10 miles/week then you probably want the biggest, softest seat you can find.
​
On the other hand if you ever plan to ride more than 10-20 miles, you need to worry about something that is far worse than pain from a hard seat - chaffing. Those fat seats tend to rub so the further and faster you ride, the narrower you want your seat - to a degree.

---

​Small, light, flexible seats are ideal for racers because they allow for full range of motion of the thighs and don't add much weight - things that may not matter to a casual rider.
