The bike seat you choose for your bike could change the way you ride, your comfort level and your health. Yes, I said your health. The wrong bike seat can cause numbness, boils, infections and chafing and has been blamed for prostate problems and even impotency. There are three things you need to take into consideration when choosing a bike seat to reduce these problems.

  1. Does The Bike Seat Fit Your Body?

    • Are you a man or woman? There are different bike seats made for different genders because women and men are shaped differently. Men's bike seats tend to be longer and thinner while women's bike seats are shorter and wider.

    • Whether you are a man or a woman, all people are made a little differently. That's why you should try sitting on a bike seat if you can. Sit on it for a minute, then get off and immediately look at it. There should be two indentations centered on the main part of the bike seat. These indentations are made from your sit bones (the bones that you feel when you sit on a hard bike seat). If the indentations are not centered, then this may not be the right bike seat for you.

    • The front part of the bike seat (the part that comes out in the front) is there to help you control the bike with your thighs. It also helps support your weight in the front. Many riders find this part of the bike seat a little annoying. This is also the part of the bike seat that causes many of the medical problems mentioned above. There are different designs to choose from if you want something more comfortable.

      • Gel bike seats have gel in them and are very soft. Some only have gel in the front part but others have gel throughout the whole thing.
