More attention being given to saddles issues for women

[Trek420]

There are SO many more options for men. A lot of saddles I'd love to look at only come as wide as a 130 or so, which isn't at all doable.

It's not the lack of options, it's the lack of info that galls me. There are plenty of wide saddles out there. They are marketed wrong.

Marketing says they are for the casual rider, someone who rides more upright or feels they must to be comfortable, and newbies "Here's a comfy wide saddle for you. Oooh, here's a sheepskin cover for it"

If you're a real, serious rider (which marketing takes to mean road bikes) or want to look like one "Here's a skinny, narrow saddle for you! Oh, you're a woman! You get a cut out."

There, problem solved!

Nobody is fitting the bike much less fitting the saddles. It's the fit and the sits bones, stupid. There, I said it. I feel better already.
