Went for a bike ride on Sunday with the whole fam. I don't remember it hurting that much when I was seven. It doesn't help that I broke my coxix (yeah baby, used it in a sentence) giving birth to my first son. Seriously, I spend so much time trying to lift my fanny off that tiny little seat that my legs are jello on the flat straightaways. I hate bike rides, hate them I say.
My question is; who designed bike seats? I mean really, did you think that was enough space for the average 30+ year old butt? Is the seat meant to only support my spine? Because that's about where it feels like it gets to after I've been sitting for five blocks. I don't mean to throw stones, honestly but was there a vinyl shortage back in the day? Is there a mandate that states only three ounces of plastic can be used in molding a seat for a bike? Perhaps professional bikers have cheek implants we haven't heard about? You know, like Wolverine? A metal plate that slides across to make a platform!
Well anyhoo, I'm in the dark. This is one of life's great mysteries for me, right up there with why men don't ask for directions.

You make me laugh out loud! Thanks for the giggle! :)
Hilarious!!
Having broken my coxix three times, yes 3 count them, high school football game ( cement bleachers), baby delivery #1 and #3, I relate to every word. The designer should be hung, shot, runover (with a bike of course) and left for dead for the magpies.
I think that they need to have a tractor seat personally. ( Now there's a vision) At least my old exercise bike had one!
Enjoy the family ride!
I love the bike that Cliff got me for my birthday. I do know the pain of getting off of it after a ride and yes I do have a kushy, big seat, but I love it. Happy riding to you.
