Cycling...Pain in the butt?

Well mine did go away eventually.

Some seats have more flex than others, and the more you weigh, the more pressure is on you, causing more grief.    My seat has quite a bit of flex to it, it's around a $300 seat.  Once I started incorporating thick padded bike shorts, and lost 30 pounds as well as got used to it, the pains all went away.

Now I'vm starting from scratch after 6 months off due to a broken femur, and even with the good seat and shorts, 20 minutes is causing me grief today, time to lose the 30 lbs ( again ) and get used to it again!

Someone else may have better information, but that was my experience.  I'd play with a new seat, extra padding, and trying to lose weight overall ( unless of course you're already fairly light )

So you're saying my junk in the trunk is a pain in the butt? Just kidding.

Sounds probable. I have been doing the bulk of my riding in tri shorts (very little padding) and am a bit on the heavier side...a new bike is in the cards for me in the next couple of months - I'll look into the saddles at that point. Which saddle do you like?

I honestly can't tell you what the actual model is, but it's made by fi'zik.

The importand thing is to play around with a few seats and find the most comfortable one for you, sometimes the ones with extra padding and extra flex in them will help the most.

Definitely ask around at the local bike shop when looking at new seats, sometimes you can get a deal swapping them out at the same time purchasing the bike
