What's the alternative? Standing on the pedals? Or are there other styles of seat, not covered by the word "saddle"?

- jean_claude 10y agoThere are "noseless" saddles and saddles with a channel down the middle that may help protect the sensitive bits. http://www.thebirdwheel.com/noseless-saddles-tested-updated http://www.thebirdwheel.com/noseless-saddles-tested-updated But my biased opinion is buy a recumbent! Fewer back, neck, and nether region issues, plus, they have comfy seats! http://www.bacchettabikes.com/recumbent-bikes/ http://www.bacchettabikes.com/recumbent-bikes/ VERY comfy seats! http://www.hpvelotechnik.com/produkte/scorpion_plus20/index_e.html http://www.hpvelotechnik.com/produkte/scorpion_plus20/index_... A long wheelbase (crank behind the front wheel) and a more upright riding position is perfect in city traffic. On my commuter, my eye level is about even with drivers in crossover vehicles.
- khedoros 10y agoOK, that's closer to what I thought. I was kind of thrown off by the previous comment, which I read as implying "there are things besides 'saddles' that you can use".
