I have a question for you: “During bike rides, do your ‘parts down below’ ever get numb or just plain hurt?” I’m guessing most of you will say, “Oh yeah!” (said with a grimace and a groan).
I have a long history of real discomfort in my nether regions when I ride either my road bike or triathlon bike. The last 10 miles of rides were always torture; my back hurts, my hamstrings and gluts are on fire, and, worst of all, my private parts are completely numb. And all that is with having had professional bike fits for both of my bikes.
I’ve always wondered how the part of the bike that has the most contact with our bodies can be such a big problem that no one has adequately solved. I’ve always accepted that the discomfort was just part of the deal when I ride.
Well, I have a some good news for you in one word, BiSaddle. If you’re not familiar with BiSaddle, it’s a U.S. company that makes the first and only adjustable saddles that can be customized to our own unique anatomy. As soon as I read about BiSaddle, I got one and my “parts” have thanked me ever since. On my very first rides, I knew BiSaddle was a game changer. No back pain, no hammies or glutes on fire that needed extinguishing, and best of all, I could tell that my private parts were still down there! And, amazingly, most of the BiSaddles are in the same price range as other top saddles that don’t have the benefit of being adjustable.
I ride the Hurricane Pro 3-D and Saint Pro 3D on my triathlon and road bikes, respectively (admittedly, the 3D saddles are more expensive but so worth it).
BiSaddle is now offering a 20% discount on their saddles with this discount code (Jim20), plus free shipping. That’s a big chunk of savings! Regardless of the price, OMG, given all the miles you put on your bikes and all of the pain you’ve endured over the years, I assure you that it is money very well spent.
Disclaimer: I gain no financial benefit from your buying a BiSaddle. I support the company because I use BiSaddle on both my bikes and I believe in the value BiSaddle brings to anyone who rides a bike.
