I just went for my first ride on my new bike, about 10 miles, and my butt HURTS!
The bike has a pretty basic Bontrager SSR saddle.
Since I just bought the bike and accessories and will be getting new pedals and shoes, my budget it a little bit limited. This means that I can't afford to get a new saddle AND shorts right now. So the question is - which will help me more - getting a new saddle or getting bike shorts?
If the saddle is most important, what are some recommendations?
If the shorts are more important, what do you recommend? I would want baggy MTB style shorts with a good "butt pad", not form fitting shorts.
