Indeed. This comes up at lunch. There are a few women in my department who say "I like riding a bike, but I can't stand those skinny saddles." I try to say "Well, they don't have to be skinny, and it can take a while to find the right one--I'm on saddle #3 right now." However, I think they've just got it in their heads that it's uncomfortable and won't hear anything else.
