My butt is in love...
I haven't been on a bicycle in YEARS...one of the biggest reason is because my entire bottom hurts so badly after I am done. Well, last week I went biking for about 15 minutes with my boyfriend and I swear it felt like I was sitting on some medieval torture device...I could barely sit on my soft couch the next day, I was hurting so badly. My boyfriend made it clear that biking is something he really wants us to be able to do together, so I researched seats on Amazon. Unfortunately the reviews for the seats were all over the place so there was no way I could choose online. So, we went to Walmart and I chose this one and a woman's seat made by Bell.
The Bell was awful...it hurt as soon as I got on the bike, just like the original. So, my boyfriend put this one on the bike for me to try. When I got on, I couldn't believe it...there was no pain. The front pointed up a little bit and I told him...so he adjusted it. We then went for a ride that lasted over an hour...I was in HEAVEN. It was the first time in my whole life (even as a kid) that I wasn't in pain on a bike. Here it is about 5 hours later and nothing...no pain!
The quality looks great but I have no idea (being a novice) whether that is true or not. The Bell was a gel seat, this one is harder but it is padded and quilted. If I had to put money on it before i tried, I would have thought the Bell would have been more comfortable. It was not...not by a long shot. This seat somehow distributed my weight perfectly and didn't dig in anywhere. I LOVE IT.
If you put it on your bike, be sure to adjust it...I had no idea seats could be adjusted back and forth and up and down...I truly hope this review helps someone else because I feel like a whole new avenue has opened up in my life.
