Bike dilemma
I like not having a really “girly” bike, but I have a little issue with the seat. It’s a cool looking seat, and not horribly uncomfortable, but it also is not super cushy, and that becomes an issue on long, bumpy rides. I have been getting around the issue with a fantastic pair of padded bike shorts, but I think that the padded bike shorts combined with a really comfortable bike seat might just be the ultimate in riding luxury.
Right now I am considering the WTB Speed V Pro Gel Bike Saddle. In addition to being gel-filled, it’s ergonomically correct and has a really cool design. The seat I have now is also by WTB, and it’s really durable.
I am also thinking about picking up some padded underwear to wear instead of bike shorts, because frankly, Spandex has never been my friend. It serves it’s purpose, but I like the idea of wearing “real” clothes while I am mucking about on the trails.
Guess it’s time to start a Bike Improvement Shopping List.

I’ve been having a similar issue with my bike, too, which has prevented me from riding it as of late. I am so glad that you posted this, I’ll definitely check out the gel bike saddle (just not sure about wearing a faux derrière and all that spandex makes me allergic). Thanks, Nat
