So anyway my hubby and I did 4 or 5 miles today. Still trying to get over being saddle sore
We are both riding for our health
We took some before pics, now we are happily waiting for the after pictures!! This is a great forum
Thanks for all your info
Welcome...you found a good place to hang out and talk about biking.
Let's see the before photos!!
Have you bought bike shorts? Bike shorts are padded and make it easier when riding on the saddle. If that doesn't help, then there are other saddles to try. Just remember with saddles, bigger doesn't always mean more comfortable. A saddle too big can be just as uncomfortable as a small one.
Read this article if you are thinking about getting another saddle.
