Just Thought I Would Butt In

Comfort is a big deal when it comes to cycling.  Anyone who rides, from a very casual rider to a seasoned pro, knows how bad it is to be on a horribly uncomfortable bike.  Being comfortable or uncomfortable can be the difference between winning a race or running out of steam.  It can mean getting to your destination on time or stopping every few seconds to adjust in a hopeless attempt to make the pain end.  For beginning riders it can be the difference between catching the cycling bug or forsaking the bike forever to a life of collecting cobwebs in the garage.

I don't mean to tell you fellows how to do your job, but I don't think my saddle is supposed to feel like this!

In my experience, the biggest hurdle to reaching a decent level of comfort for most riders is their saddle.  There isn't necessarily a rule of thumb about what makes a good saddle, and nearly every person will have a different opinion of which saddle is the best.  Unfortunately, I will not reveal myself as the holder of absolute saddle wisdom, handing down the secret to saddle nirvana for anyone that reads this.

What I can offer, however, is my recent journey to find the right saddle for me, and hopefully it will be of benefit to anyone out there who is constantly seeking more posterior comfort.
