Any suggestions on padding? Are there ways to give more cushion to the seat? Will biker shorts help?
I'm sitting on a pillow in my office chair as I write this.
As Dchief said, it would be helpful to know the bike, saddle type and the distances you're riding. A better quality seat rather than more padding may be more helpful. As bobbycorno suggested, it may be more of a factor with how your weight is distributed and whether the seat is "sprung" versus a hardshell. Biker shorts won't help. Padding is minimal and they function best to keep your 'nads out of the way of the saddle in the case of a DF and the chamois helps prevent chafing.
