My ass hurts - any tips or remedies????
 

No gay sex, just riding my bike (bicycle) like crazy, trying to lose weight, and look awesomer (?)


I am on my week three and right now, I am doing about hour and a half per day Mon-Fri, riding really hard, but I should probably go back to the shop and get a different seat or order one like this one here

I was about to say "use more lube" but nevermind... :upsidedow

Gel saddle.

1. Get a hard slim seat (yes really) with minimal padding.
2. Get some decent pants, something like this:

Pants may look gay, just wear them under something. I don't know if that particular model is good, just one I grabbed quick, but you get the picture.

When I started riding XC and DH MTB it hurt like a motherfucker, but after a few weeks it will pass. But man, buying a pair of cycling shorts/pants was a lifesaver.

That's what I use. Problem solved.

what's a saddle, I thougth that saddle and seat are the same thing???


They look OK to me, but I don't get chafing, it's more of a deep (bone) pain, so unless they are padded, I don't see how they are going to solve my problem

Get this one..

Get some better seat with better suspension..
Home remedies : while sitting on chair, place your legs in parallel to ground.. That will increase the blood circulation around there.. you'll feel better.

use your legs more than you sit on the seat

I've never seen a bike seat like that, are you sure that thing is comfortable?

Juicy will have some good advice on that

Yea mate I know that pain very well and it will go away. I'm just saying that light padded pants and a semi-hard seat did it for me. But it takes a while, so just bite down the pain until then.

A friend of mine used a soft seat and he started dealing with other problems like the chaffing, eventually he switched to a harder seat.

Not saying rock hard, just not a big fat cushion :) look at the pro-riders and see what they use, they do it for a reason ;)

my fat ass have same problem, i need some chair on bike lol :D

I get my ass hurt even when i walk a lot, not mentioning bike ride. You are trying too good to look better, you jsut need more money.

my ass hurts after riding a bike sometimes, but i prefer a slightly padded seat over something with very little padding
