![]() 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. And if you want to find the saddle that is just right for you, stop in to Good Bike Co. where you can see and feel a variety of saddles.
And don't forget your chamois shorts and chamois cream!
