Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum.... It's nice to see so many women getting into this sport. It clears the head!

I have also had a numbness problem. Buying gel shorts and tilting the seat really helps. I would suggest adding a stem riser to raise up the handle bars. (If you are too high on the seat it can cause too much downward tilt and pressure.) And yes! use a womens seat! It is 110% better! We are built different (and better) then men.

And Yes! Emily in NC you are correct about baby powder... always use corn starch, even for infants.

Good luck! and keep ridin'
