    The problem with nearly all such seats is that they don't take into account
    the fact that your hips rock slightly up-and-down while pedaling, so the
    extra width of the "ergo" saddles (like the one shown, or, worse yet, the
    ones with two independent pads) can cause a great deal of discomfort for
    anyone riding more than, say, 10 miles.

    Believe me, the industry is always looking for a more comfortable saddle.
    There's no conspiracy going on that says all bicycle seats have to look (and
    feel) like conventional ones. If a bike manufacturer could spec a
    more-comfortable saddle, their bikes would sell better because they'd
    test-ride better. But so far, all we've seen are weird-looking seats that
    sell primarily through mail-order (and in-flight magazine ads) because, when
    people actually use them (which happens when a shop stocks them), they don't
    like them.
