Saddle Sore

Well, I took her out for another spin today and it's become very clear that I need a new seat. Ouch!

I guess those little skinny black shaped leather seats are for people that are without actual nerve endings or skin on their body. I hear Brook's is the best seat maker around but their seats are very expensive. But they sure are pretty...

These seats are touted as the best, but I've never tried one before. I'm a pretty curvy girl and need a seat that supports wider set hip bones. I guess I'm not alone in this. It seems as though there's a huge market out there catering to the sore bum. Doctors write articles about nerve damage and even impotence thanks to ill fitting bike seats and poor riding form.

Turns out that when I looked at the web page they offer a whole list of official Brooks dealers. River City Bikes and City Bikes here in Portland both sell them. The one pictured above is the B72 in brown, it's also offered in black. I'd like to keep the color palette shades of gold and brown and other fall colors.

I wish I could afford that seat! Maybe I can if I don't buy gas any more... heh heh, I can work this out if I fineggle. I need a seat that feels comfortable in order to ride the bike all over the place.
