The Bottom Line.

The Bottom Line.

The weakest point of the human body when cycling must be the Posterior;  It pays to get some practice in before you set off, especially to harden up the ‘Bum’.  This becomes more important the older one gets.  In my younger days I had a bike with a Brooks all leather saddle, and I found that very comfortable.  On this last (July 2014) trip, in Germany I saw several saddles which, were padded out cushioned with portions of sheep fleeces; but I didn’t manage to get a picture.

However I did picture a few choice luxury saddles.


This one was on display in a shop window.

One wonders just haw comfortable that one is.   The inclination looks a bit steep.

A masterpiece of suspension technology, or perhaps:- “Vorsprung-durch-Technik”.


What price comfort?  I have come across similar ones before particularly in Holland.

It is not just Spring that has sprung.
