Hi Guys,
I got my roadbike couple of months ago but due to bad weather I couldn't regularly ride on it. yesterday, when I decided to take it for a round I did about 15km (~10mile).
I rode at about 15~20km/hour. City ride. After my ride I was doing quite well except for some pain due to dis-comfort on the saddle. But i think it's too early to decide that my saddle is not good enough. I could think of the following points but I don't know what to do:
1. It maybe something to do with my saddle positioning.
2. I don't have a saddle padding. So the saddle is quite hard.
3. *maybe* I hit some bad potholes.
4. Maybe, it's just something that I have to get used to??!!
5. Maybe I should wear cycling shorts that gives a extra padding
I really don;t know what it is. I have read about the impotent factor but I think it's too much of medical science to think about. I really wanna enjoy my cycling and I really wanna cycle great deal.
1. If i have to change my saddle, How to measure a good saddle? how much of ride should determine the comfort factor?
Please pour in your advice. Also any other related health safety tips.
Thank you! cheers!
