I have a permanent problem with an uncomfortable derriere (as you put it). I have padded cycle shorts and a gel seat - to no avail. I must have a particularly boney ass (as someone once said in a film who's title I can't remember - sorry).<br /><br />Happy cycling.Loo xx from Jumbles and Pompomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13570354905749566677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-33263659323240765652011-08-18T08:21:07.931+01:002011-08-18T08:21:07.931+01:00I can't imagine not having my bike - though I ...I can't imagine not having my bike - though I am glad that Suffolk is relatively flat - I've the wrong sort of legs for hills ;)VintageVickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16468973681066716805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-61969204241928232062011-08-18T07:31:16.927+01:002011-08-18T07:31:16.927+01:00I'm 52 too and never ridden a bike either! hav...I'm 52 too and never ridden a bike either! have always wanted to - very scared, but we found a stolen bike in the woods this week and the police have said if nobody claims it we can keep it - so this could be my moment?

I have a Brooks sprung leather one (a surprise extra birthday present from hubby, I think he just wanted to stop me moaning), it's quite expensive but definitely the most comfortable saddle I have ever had and I woudn't change it now. As an interim measure you could try a gel saddle cover and get yourself a pair of padded cycling shorts.<br />Happy pedaling!andamentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338225798888415276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-7209241243295270032011-08-17T21:49:32.985+01:002011-08-17T21:49:32.985+01:00pad your knickers!!pad your knickers!!John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-88017451708001001232011-08-17T21:45:17.921+01:002011-08-17T21:45:17.921+01:00haha know what u mean, it really hurts your bottom...haha know what u mean, it really hurts your bottom!!
