Darn it! Check mated too early in this thread. Well played!


To the OP, I have the same issues on my road bikes. I just take motrin and tough it out. I've also nearly ditched my aluminum framed bike and gone solely back to my old Peugeot steel ride for when I'm not on my recumbent. The steel absorbs much of road bumps. The aluminum bike just seem to transfer the bump shocks right into my seat.


When I was young, in my teens and 20's, I could go out all day on my roadie. In my 40's, my sit bones take a punishing. Hence, why I own a 'bent.
