Unfortunately, don't really have anyone I can get to take a picture of me. My brother lives 90 miles away. And unless my cat gets some opposable thumbs...

So normally when I ride, I do roll my pelvis forward and my back is straight. But that's when I get all the pressure on the soft tissue that I can't tolerate. Since moving the seat, there is a lot more weight distributed to my sit bones (I've stopped sliding so far forward on the nose of the seat), but still the lady bits get mashed.

As far as bike fitting goes - what kind of place should I look for to fit me? My brother says the shop near him fit him when he got his bicycle, and suggests I go there when I go to visit at the end of the week. I found another place a little further into the city and they put you on some fancy computerized machine thing. What's the difference and does it matter??

I want to get serious about cycling and get in better shape but I really think the whole soft tissue sensitivity is holding me back from riding as much as I would like.

Thanks again.
