She's not sinking into that "big squooshy" seat anymore!

Big Squooshy has been relegated to a shelf in the garage, never to grace MY bike again (well, maybe, someday, if I sell the bike and want to keep the seat I put on it!) Big Squooshy has been on the shelf for a couple of weeks now, replaced by not-so-squooshy from my old bike until yesterday. After realizing just how badly mounted not-so-squooshy was and fixing that and then deciding that it was very uncomfortable in a whole new range of body parts than the tailbone thing, I've moved on to a Dolce that seems like a big improvement. After riding her yesterday and reading some more stuff last night, I've decided I need to make a bit of an adjustment, but I can give this seat a tentative thumbs up! Girlie bits aren't hurting and sit bones didn't mind the sitting too much. I think the tail bone is going to take a little while, but it's not quite as noisy about how badly I've been treating it today either!

PLUS, my bike looks SO much sleeker than it did with Big Squooshy mounted on it!

Now to figure out how to make Earl think of this seat thing for himself -- watching him ride yesterday was like, ooooooo did I feel sympathy!
