I am new to biking and have a mountain bike with a semi soft seat and a road bike brand new just bought it for 2000.00 that i will commute to work with long distances.

Anyway, my work commute will take about 40 miles round trip. My mountain bike i have road 30 mile trips without much issue of saddle sores or discounfort.

I got my NEW road bike the other day and it has a Really Expensive hard seat. I seen the seat costs in stores around 100+ dollars. Anyway, am i missing somthing.

Why are the hard light seats so expensive while my Mountain bike is a little bigger an has more padding ?

I was thinking of swapping my seat out for one that has more padding ?? Any ideas to this ??

I already have a pair of good biking pants with the padding in them along with good biking underwear.

So my next step i guess it to get a little more padding on the seat. Is there anything wrong with this thinking ?

I am 6,2 198lbs

thanks
