Schwinn "No Pressure" noseless saddle makes bike nearly car-comfy

[[email protected]]

I am amazed by how (finally) comfortable my bike ride is -- almost as
cushy as a car ride now. Here's my best (so far) solution, after having
spent 6 years of switching all kinds of saddles, seatposts, etc, etc:

The Louis Garneau (LGD - Louis Garneau Designs) triple-thick bike
shorts, Thudbuster LT (Long Travel model, 3" of claimed travel), and
Schwin's "No Pressure" noseless (looks like a board) bicycle
seat/saddle.

Results: I no longer get fog-headedness after a ride, from my brain
being bounced around, even though my bike's tire pressure is at 95PSI
for flat-tire resistance. (Glass doesn't enter the rubber at 95 PSI -
haven't gotten any flats for almost two years.)

I've tried five noseless saddles prior.

Funny you should say that. I just completed a 5 hour, 64 mile hilly ride
today on my good-old-fashioned Brooks B-7 with no pain whatsoever.

Then ended up with a terriffic lower back pain (which is still bothering
me) from the 90 minute drive home!

Wow. That means almost every flat I've had for the past 30 years
must have been imaginary!

That's how long I've been using air pressures over 95 psi. And most of
my flats seem to be caused by glass.

I did a 5-hour, 83-mile hilly ride on Sunday on my Specialized Avatar
Gel with no back pain and no pain or numbness in any delicate areas.

Funny how that works, isn't it? By far, sitting in an office chair,
lounging in a recliner, or even simply lying in bed give me more back pain
than riding a road bike. My back feels *better* after riding the road
bike.
