Brooks seats are the best seat you can buy, they are made in england. if you had a good bike seat, you would be happy. Brooks seats are the best seat you can buy, they are made in england.

As you ride more regularly you will grow accustomed to getting a sore rear end after riding large distances, and eventually it will probably hardly be noticeable. Inner thigh chaffing is probably something unavoidable for any rider on a much more comfortable saddle. I've cycled roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 miles) in the past year, since I got my first bicycle - and I don't get anywhere as much soreness relative to when I first started out. Hope I could help.

When you decide to buy a bike, sit on it. It's a great idea! Testing things before getting them is helpful. But if you want to waste your money, keep it up. It'll get you far in life.

It also takes time for your rear to get used to riding. A good pair of bike shorts is mandatory if you ride over a few miles. WTB makes good mountain bike seats, but many others do too. Visit a good bike shop and have them help you out. One thing they will tell you is that if you have a larger saddle, you are more prone to inner thigh chaffing with some designs.
