    It's possible your saddle is too narrow too - depending on how long your tailbone is.

    I bruised mine once on a long ride, so I can totally sympathize. It hurt to do anything - including nothing.

    Interesting, my Terry Butterfly saddles do not have a split rear portion (I don't need it). They may dip down a little there but don't actually split. I was thinking more along the lines of something like this:

    You're right. They dip, but they're not separated. It's enough for my tailbone.

    I broke my tailbone falling off a horse many years ago, but for some reason biking does not hurt there.
