spazz I love our language!
By flatties I meant flat pedals, no toeclip or cleets - just regular pedals. Actually flatties is a bit of an mtb word, but I'm a roadie who likes to speak many languages.

I vote new saddle, too. How about flatties with over the toe mini-clips (no straps - kind of analogous to a strapless bra for your flatties, spazz
) They cost about 5 bucks and you can use them with your sneaks or with bike shoes until you go clipless (if you do). I liked them just fine and they give you some pulling strength.

I vote for Proper saddle!
Oh that would not even be up for debate, I have already went through it and now have a Terry trigel Butterfly and wow...no more sore girly bits for me. History.

Saddle, Saddle, Saddle
In case you were wondering - go for the saddle. If you hinney is hurting, it ain't gonna matter whats on your feet!
Didn't you say the older bike has toe cages on it?......if you can use those -they should do ya fine until you can get clipless!!
So...........what type of bike did ya get?? (I can't Believe you left that part out!
)
Corsair "rides a newly-bought vintage Peugeot" MacLife should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
