That was ME! I adore my Trek 7.6 FX. You will love yours, I promise.

Nice bike! Welcome
Be sure to read some of the saddle threads and see if you can work out why your toosh is hurting. Nothing like unnecessary pain to put you off bike riding... A little sore and bruised is normal, but not numb or badly chafed.Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

beautiful pic! I've been outside- still trying to get my computer to work again. I know I don't have to have it - but I feel like I do! I have a Trek Incite 6i/8i. I keep realligning it with no success, and have also looked at the Trek website for support. Going back to try again -- Val

Congratulations on your new bike.
Also, welcome to the Forum. It is good to new people. Be gentle in the beginning. I had been off my bike for a while and I had sore tush too for a while.

As a nurse and a fellow new rider, let me recommend putting ice on that sore bottom when you get home (a bag of frozen peas works great). 20 mins on, 20 mins off, will at least keep the swelling to a minimum and make you more comfortable for tomorrow.
I sat on an icepack myself all last weekend after making the mistake of wearing cotton panties under my bike shorts -don't do it!
There's a reason those shorts have no seams down there!

Thank you Deb and RedRock. May def try ice now - i'm so frustrated with this computer that I'll I'm going to stay away from the bike until later in the afternoon.
I can take it back to the bike shop tomorrow after work. Nevertheless, I feel like I've joined a club of sorts which is nice. When I was on my bike yesterday, despite the bum pain and some left knee pain, it was freeing to be on the bike and made me forget how out-of-shape I had become.....like "i can do this again - Yes!"
