Met a friend for a ride yesterday and this is what he rolled up on. The left and right side of the seat move independently

Looks like with a decent tree to lean against, a man could have a reasonable nap on that thing! I mean add a tarp and you've got a bicycle camper.

And the search for a more comfortable seat goes on...

We do what we have to do, to ride!

In reality, if someone actually rides, then even a bowling pin would work.

I would never criticize another man's ride, but that is one ugly bicycle.

I actually know a guy who has a saddle sort of like a cross between what is on that bike and the one in the latter photo posted. Allows him to ride despite some sort of prostate problem. He's no slouch either.

I put a shock absorber seat post on my mtb, and left it a little loose in the adjustment, so it will move a little left and right while pedaling. Also put an inflatable seat cover on it. Takes some of the stress off my skinny butt. I also put an 8" handlebar stem extension and aero bars on it to relieve the numbness from the carpal tunnel syndrome I have in both wrists. OH yeah, and it's a cheap BB store bike. Let the hating begin.....LOL
