What do you ride?

F you guys. That sucker is comfy. I farted around the neighborhood on my old Trek and that seat which is probably more tech is brutal on the taint.

Greg,
On a long ride that fat seat will cuase more problems than good. Can you say Chafe

Norrower saddles are uncomfortable by themselves, but that is why you also wear padded riding shorts. You can either buy baggy padded riding shorts which are expensive. Or get a cheap pair of padded lycra riding shorts and wear baggy shorts over them like I do.

Thanks for the advice. That was the seat that came on the bike. We'll see how tomorrow goes (you are coming, aren't you?) which will be my longest and sounds like my most technical ride on that bike, and in over ten tears. As you know, I'm still working into this.

I rarely wear my padded shorts while riding the mtb anymore. My saddle ain't plush like Greg's but its got plenty of cushion for a whole day riding. My road bike, on the other hand... no way I'd last more than 10 minutes without some padding.

Speaking of shorts, I woke up to found this killer deal:

Oakley Compression Short - Men's

Picked up two pairs for a bit over $33 shipped. Sweet!

I've heard of people stuffing diapers in their shorts for extra padding...

I've just got a 10 yo Schwinn Crisscross hybrid with the narrow "PROSTATE" seat on it

I guess you don't need to stop for pee breaks that way.

Yes, I still have it and yes it could be converted to disk brakes. I've looked into it and came to the same determination that Mr. Evil posted. It's just not worth it.
