After taking my bike out a few times I developed a rather sore ass! I spoke to a few people and they told me not to go rushing out to buy a new seat. Instead I was told to get a pair of proper bike shorts.
So, off I went down to my LBS, Incycle in San Dimas. I picked up a pair of Specialized shorts. The have padding inside them to make riding alot more comfortable. I could notice the difference on the first ride with them, plus I look awesome in them! SPANDEX FTW!
I was also told to give my sit bones a while to get used to riding. After all, they are not used to that kind of impact and will take a while to get used to it. It took me a couple of weeks before the soreness stopped. Now when I ride it’s really comfy and i’m not sore afterwards. I’m not in any hurry to replace the saddle so now I can spend my pennies elsewhere on the bike.
