apologies for creating a distraction...but what better people to ask this question of than people riding 1 hour a day for 20+ days -> how do you get a seat that doesn't hurt my butt (really the inside of my upper thigh) ? I ride an hour once or twice a weekend and spend mon/tues tender. Is there a bike shop in the area that could help with a fitting ?
Ride more? Different saddle?
Honestly, it's hard to say for sure as everyone is a different with this. Personally, I run the same saddle on all of my bikes (a variation of the Selle Italia Flite). I can pedal on that seat for hours and it doesn't hurt me - once I get my "saddle-butt" for the season. Longer rides early in the season can hurt a little, but it passes.
Halter's does bike fitting by appointment. It does help and is worth every penny.
