I couldn't agree more with this post. I had a large, soft gel seat on my old mountain bike that I had to take off due to a sore butt. Surprisingly the stock seat on my current hybrid is very comfortable for my 30-35 mile rides; my LBS was pissed off that they couldn't sell me a new seat when they asked if I wanted to change it out a month after purchase and I said "no, its just fine as-is."
