Older women riders?

[Crankin]

Just fyi, my doc told me that the E string is approved by oncologists who treat women who have had breast cancer. At least the ones she worked with!
But, definitely look at saddles with a huge cut out and also look into lubricants or chamois cream you can use.

Crankin, my Dr TOTALLY gets me, and I really respect her opinion, so I suspect she has a good reason for not letting me have E string or something like it. Might be the fact that my father dropped dead of a heart attack at 47 and a history of stroke on my mother's side makes it seem like not a good risk to take....

Yeah, that's a good reason.

Also, Awsmile, as a new convert to the church of recumbents, I would highly recommend giving them a look in. A compact longwheelbase recumbent is easy to ride and ever so comfy, and gets so much attention and approbation zipping along the road.
