My bike has a standard racing type saddle which I find reasonably comfortable. The bike I bought for my son has a gel saddle which I actually found not as comfortable as my own saddle. It's a different shape. Up at ASDA Walmart tonight I had a wander round the bike section. They were selling Bell gel saddle covers for under £7 so I decided to get one to try. It's exactly the same size and shape as my saddle so I'll be trying it out later today. It has a hollow for a certain part of our anatomy so hopefully that'll help take the pressure off. I'm hoping to start using my bike to get to and from work shortly which is in the centre of town, about 3 miles from where I live. The good news is, it's downhill all the way. The bad news is it's uphill all the way home. At least I can take my time going home - no rush.
What do others think of the gel saddles and gel saddle covers?
