"Back in the day" I rode in whatever shorts or pants I had, on the stock seat (didn't even know to call it a saddle). My handlebar had a thin wrap of cloth tape and I didn't know there was such a thing as bike gloves. I was happy and I don't remember feeling uncomfortable. These days I need my padded shorts, anatomical seat, padded bar tape, and gel gloves or I'll quickly be in extreme discomfort. What happened? Is it just age, or that I now know better?
