Well, my saddle sore was the upper crack of my backside, where the cheeks must have rubbed together -- chaffed red and almost bleeding. Had to wait three weeks before I could ride again. (isn't this a gross subject?)

But I am determined to keep on riding and prepared ahead with vitamin e salve in that spot. I think the 18 speed bike I had was too tall for me and my fanny was rotating back and forth sideways as I peddaled, thus the inflammation and sore spot. Now I have a shorter bike and hope it won't happen again..


Good luck and painless riding! Melinda
