Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I think saddle size is a big part of it, you want to sit on your sit bones and it sounds like Pcad has been sitting on his anus.

Completely incorrect. Toupe saddles have no center section. I don't think this is saddle related, just like a pulled hamstring can happen with any athletic shoe, a pulled muscle in your pelvic region is a hazard of the cycling trade in general.

Speaking of bizarre medical cases, TMI alert.

Anyone here ever go to their reunions? High school and grad school seem silly, but with the right crew, college could be fun.
