What riding horses did for me was get me used to my sitting bones. For years I thought i didn't get saddle sore on my bike because I'd ridden horses. That all changed when I got a new bike that did NOT have a brooks b66 or b67 saddle.

I Suddenly became just as tender as everyone else.

but as you all know, the happy ending is this one; i have put a brooks saddle on all bikes that i ride.
