After sitting on the bike with hands on the drops. Then measuring the distance of the sit-bones at about 3.5" (In the garage! Good thing the neighbors didn't see that!).

For the MaxFlite seat, under cruising power, I'm guessing there's not much "sit-bone" activity while cruising. Most of the contact seems to be near the nose of the seat with weight is on the sensitve areas (for a woman).

Instead of the seat...I'm thinking that the handle bars are too low? Yet the reach is comfortable.
