Bikes: I never learned to ride a bike. It is my deepest shame.

Hmm...this is another good idea too. I do feel a little bit weird in the saddle. Feels like my weight is being supported by my wrists, and a certain area you'd rather not support your body with.
This is the best advice in this thread. You saddle should be level front -to - back, or slightly nose up. A lot of folks put their saddle nose-down because they think it will decrease pressure in their *ahem* crotchular region... but it does not - it just increases the pressure on your hands.
