BICYCLE SADDLES ... (35)
Bicycle saddles.....it's a funny thing...y'know those narrow racing saddles that'll either steal your virginity or emasculate you if you spend half an hour on them......??...well, spend a day on them and somehow your body gets used to it....I had to do it once..3 days in a row...If it was that bad, do you really think those cyclists in the Tour de France could handle it??...
Aren`t they all men? and if you check their expressions you can see they all suffering in silence.... like Men.
Ja, <I know if one perseveres, and concentrates, and all that, one will get used to it ... by WHY cant we have a bike saddle like that seat on a tractor? ever seen one of those? .... that`s why the farmer can sit all day and bump over bumpy ground while he ploughs..... Bliss.

something like a comfy armchair you mean : 
awwww.....
not that comfortable for us blokes either you know......
Why worry about these sadles, just drive????
Dear Peter, Schweiz is a small land, and around the villages we use our bikes, and for going on the Great Healthy Swiss Family Outings, where we all cycle to the next village for excercise, then park off at a pub and drink beer... (the kiddies eat ice-cream and drink Ravella, that disgusting "health" drink made from some by-product of milk or cheese or whatever).... and so we need our bikes... Every self-respecting citizen of every village owns a bike.
And to pop down to the local shops for bread, or to take the bike trailer laden with stuff for re-cycling to the dump .....and to bring back the weekly crate of beer. There is no parking anyway.....Much easier to use a bike.
But a nice saddle would make life more comfortable.....Someone with an inventing mind and a workshop should apply their mind and talents to this...... ?

Confucious say she who ride bicycle thingy with tractor seat, ends up with bum looking like tractor seat....I'd go with the straight and narrow....Ouch!...
Dear Confused Lagoona ..... Bicycle seats are not designed to streamline the bum. Sitting on bum all day is what makes it expand to tractor-seat size.
Straight and narrow is what happens to the mind..........
Ouch!

Now I know why all thos guys who do the Tour de France have that pained expression on their faces......
Lagoona - you may have noticed that most of the cyclists in the Tour de France actually spend most of their time out of the saddle (standing up, pedalling furiously uphill or to the finishing line)!
smoky - yes, and it's called a rickshaw! You perch your bum on a nice comfy seat and get a runty little man to pedal or run ahead pulling your 'bicycle'..........when is a rickshaw a bicyle or a tricycle? 
Okay, Rusty, I took your advice. Today I went round my village and asked all the runty little men, and there is an abundance of them here, if they would please pull my bicycle for me, after I have this tractor seat fitted to it. They just stared at me blankly. I practiced all the right words in Swiss German, and spoke very clearly, but I don`t think they can comprehend what I am asking them.
I even suggested attaching my trailer to their bike and they do all the pedalling with me sitting in the back with the crate of beer, I even offered them a free beer every few km`s, they just shook their heads and went off muttering.
So now I am considering getting one of those huge dogs like a St Bernard and training it to pull the trailer, because I think the tractor saddle thing is getting ridiculous, and the idea of just lolling in my trailer with the crate of beer is getting more and more attractive. Maybe I will end up with a team of 6 Huskies with the Rottweiler in front as leader and I can wave a whip around and shout "Mush mush" and speed around the village, maybe even run a taxi service for the alcoholics, since we found out you can be fined for riding your bicycle whilst under the influence of alcohol.
Only problem is now I gotta find a bigger trailer, for hauling all the drunkards with, and there are a lot of them here too.

I perfectly agree with you about bicycle seats. You say the designer of the right seat will get millions for it.
Here you have created a chance for yourself to become rich and famous.
design the seat, and I'll find a firm to make it for you. Is that a deal?
Sticking up one's crotch should be quite exciting. Maybe that is where the designer can make the millions...designing a seat for women in the shape of a hand...with the fingers in the right position. Or maybe two hands ! Each hand holding half the bum!! The permutations are endless......!!!
The production firm is on the telephone line waiting for the original design to be approved.

Actually, they are already bike seats designed for women. They are call noseless seats. However, some have tested it and found that they are not very stable especially when you make turns.
I am also in the search for that illusive comfortable bicycle seat made for women :)

The ultimate bicycle seat for women is, on a tandem, behind a guy with a good sense of direction....of course, she will have a map taped to a handlebar-board clip, but she will still have absolutely no idea where she's going.....needless to say (but I will anyway)...the guy will be too proud and macho to ask for directions, so both of them will get utterly lost in the process..... he will blame her for her non-existent navigational skills, and she will blame him for wanting to go on a cycling weekend anyway....the moral of the story?...wether you have a comfortable seat or not, you still gonna get lost!!!!.... 
Well, I would actually have a GPS/navigator taped on his handlebar and my tandem bike seat would hv a nice comfy cushion with an umbrella on it and a coctail in hand. That solves all the problem and we can close this forum. :p

Morning, you are wise beyond your years!!!...being lost is maybe better than being found....the journey is the point, not the destination.....!!!... travelling wiil always be more interesting than arriving....nicht wahr??...
Dear Lagoona, thanks. Age doesnt always define wisdom tho =p
Yes, I totally agree. Sometimes being lost is better than being found but being lost and then being found to tell the tale, is the best-est.

I can imagine a nice comfy saddle than holds one`s bum-cheeks comfortably and does not stick up one`s crotch! Instant millions to the designer, guaranteed.
