This "Bike Seat Library" thing is great!

Wonder if they could stock seats for us Cheap Bastards?

In-spite of our Bike Fitters and Seat Measuring Devices, actually getting out there and using a seat is the way to go. The fact is if I were putting more miles on my rides I certainly would take the time to make trials and heavily invest in a better saddle, that's for sure!

Back in the 70s my first racing seat was a Selle Italia. It was the most uncomfortable seat I ever rode. Of course the Italians I was ridding with simply said I had no business sitting in the seat to begin with and that if your seat hurts it was a reminder to get off of it and ride.

Now I am older and weigh 100 pounds more than then. I have no problem using a women's "Charge Ladle" at 35 USD. I also have a box full of almost brand new saddles I tried just to find the one that fits.
