Bicycle saddles
Mar. 29th, 2012 12:26 am"It has always been an idea of mine that the right saddle is to be found. I said, 'You give up that idea. This is an imperfect world, a world of joy and sorrow mingled. There may be a Better Land where bicycle saddles are made out of rainbow, stuffed with cloud. In this world, the simplest thing is to get used to something hard.'"

I've been having some pain in my, um, lady bits...the really important ones with all the nerve endings. My sit bones are fine with the saddle I have so far, but I think I either need to angle it down or get something different if I want to go on longer rides. (It's a stock Trek/Bontrager WSD saddle.)
FYI, I know for sure I don't want to get a wide, heavy saddle, for a variety of reasons.
So, this may be a fruitless question, but does anyone have any experience with Terry women's saddles? Thoughts?
