what style of bike seat is the most comfortable?
ive decided to start ridring a bike again and i either need a new seat or post. im figuring i need both though. i was rideing on mine after it was tuned up and the seat still wiggled and my butt hurt the next day. someone suggested the gel seat
Big and cushy is a bad thing in a bike seat. When cycling, friction is your enemy. A big “comfy” saddle will tear up your sensitive areas in a hurry. See below for a selection of quality saddles. A gel pad will likely make things worse, not better.
A few other thoughts:
1. It takes a while for your butt to toughen up. A little soreness is common early in the season even for serious cyclists.
2. Any “wiggling” of the saddle indicates something is not installed properly. I’m not psychic, so I can’t tell from here whether its the saddle, the seat post, or the collar holding the seatpost in the frame.
3. Get a pair of cycling shorts. They will further reduce friction. Even though non-cyclists poke fun, cycling attire is all function, not fashion.
