Choosing a bike saddle for comfort

By: Zoey Lancaster
Choosing a bike saddle for comfort is fun and can be used for stress relief. The last thing a cyclist needs is an uncomfortable saddle, as this will make riding an unbearable experience. Some people think that saddle discomfort has to be tolerated, but a proper bike seat is all you need to enjoy the freedom, convenience and pleasures of bike riding. The shape of a saddle is important in accommodating your anatomy. Women?s bicycle saddles are wider than men?s due to their wider sit bones. For a saddle that fits you perfectly, you need to consider your build, age, gender, weight, type of biking and riding time. A good bicycle saddle should be able to support your body weight while you pedal, balance and steer. When you hit a bump or cycle over uneven surfaces, the saddle must absorb the shock without transferring it to you. This way, you will not feel any impact.

Kids, brains, inspiration, and bikes.

Kids say the darndest things. I recently spoke at the Davis Bike Club team camp in Bodega Bay, and although I was very prepared for my presentation, I suddenly become nervous when I saw the multitudes of junior cyclists proudly marching into the room all with matching flannel Davis Bike Club pajamas on.  Either they were ready to fall asleep in my presentation, or they ready for a slumber party.  My team doesn?t get matching jammies!  I was envious at the bright colors and camaraderie it brought. Would I be...
