Do you have a local bike shop nearby to help you go through several types of saddles and bars?
Oh yeah, my LBS is starting to get to know me. I was wanting some ideas of what to look at. I asked about one saddle on the wall- one of those thin hard looking seats. He said one came on his Specialized and he was going to change it but rode it a while before he did. He said it was actually more comfortable than the padded seat he had on his old bike.
I do know that I definitely need padded bike shorts. My 53 year old butt needs a little help if I am going to ride any distance at all.
