On Part 3 of the Cycling Points of Contact series Amy and I discuss the importance of having a comfortable seat. Obviously you won't spend too much time riding your bike if your saddle isn't comfortable but finding the right seat can be a difficult task.
There are quite a few third party companies that sell high quality Bike seats. Of course the most successful bike manufacturers make their own seats also, but rarely include their best models as standard equipment on anything except their most expensive models. The industry has come to accept that purchasing a new seat and replacing the one that came with your bike as standard practice. But what bike saddle should you buy?
Amy is one of the lucky few that instantly fell in love with the saddle that came with her bike. Part of that has to do with the particular brand of bike she bought. I wasn't as lucky and went through a couple different saddles before I came across one that isn't perfect but satisfactory. Some of our cycling friends have yet to find a suitable bike saddle. What sets them apart, and what's most important when selecting a bike saddle for yourself.
