If you don’t want a part of your body to get sore, then that part shouldn’t be pushing against something that doesn’t move along with it. That’s the thinking behind the vabsRider bicycle saddle, the two sides of which pivot in time with your pedaling.

    Do you have to get a custom seat setup for your car? What about your office chair? Perhaps cyclists have become accustomed to the need for specialty seat fittings because bike saddles are just inherently small, prone to pressure points, rigid and unforgiving. This innovation looks promising to me, at least as far as reducing perineal numbness and nerve damage (hopefully without the need for ridiculous diaper shorts which I own and love).

      Yes, I have a custom seat setup in my car…I adjust the “handlebars” and the “seat” every time I get in.

      Same for office chairs.

        That is patently false. Buying a saddle is not the same as going to your LBS for a “professional fitting”.
