Try a different saddle.
Sit down on a hard curb; the two hard bones which you feel yourself sitting on (ischial
tuberosities) are the two bones that must be supported by the saddle. too narrow, and you're riding
on your unmentionables; too wide, and you sink into the saddle putting pressure on...your
unmentionables. If your rear is no longer the same shape as it was 12 months ago, maybe a new saddle
might be indicated?
Or you could spend the big bucks and buy a recumbent--whereupon we'd have to banish you from this
ng. *grin*.
