Beautiful post. Won't work on most of these bikes, though, because of the diameter.

I'm not familiar with the bike and it might be quite nice for all I know, but....
I rode on a gigantic foam saddle just like that last summer when I borrowed a friend's bike for a two hour ride with them. She told me "Oh you're going to LOVE this saddle, it's like riding on a pillow!"
After 30 minutes my butt and hip joints were hurting. After an hour I was in big pain everywhere. After an hour and a half my pain was excruciating and i had to try to stand up for the rest of the ride. When i got back I could hardly walk from the pain and my entire rear was tingly and going numb.Never again!

Lisa, I know! Our old Giant hybrids that we got at the bike shop had similar saddles. At the time, the bike shop convinced us to swap out the saddles for those big, padded things. I never did like it, but didn't know any better until I joined this forum.
Brooks babe!

Check out this one! I've never seen one quite like it.
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...
