RoadBunner, I recently was in the market for bikes and spent an afternoon, wearing jeans, trying out like 5 bikes: a few cyclocrosses, an entry-level road bike, and a touring bike. The next day I was incredibly bruised in my sit bones as well and couldn't ride my brand new bike for a couple of days while they healed up. I had been riding indoors but on a cushier wider seat on my old bike. I had issues with the saddle that came with the new bike the first few rides but now I pretty much have no problem. You'll bruise for a little while like I did but in time it too shall pass. You may want to spread out the days you test bikes if you have the bruising problem like I did.
