Believe it or not--there are bicycles that basically only come available
with ONE seat, and that seat is comfortable enough for the vast majority
of humanity.The RANS Zenetic is one such bicycle (although I think there are plastic
and carbon-fiber versions, so I suppose that's two seats).
~RANS recumbents are not universally available. I can't justify the
additional cost and hassle (won't fit on bike racks on buses/cars/trains,
etc.)
Er, the RANS Zenetic is a "crank forward" upright, not a recumbent:

Quoted message said:They're perfectly sensible bicycles, I'm sure, but the fact is that saddle
pain is not a problem if you learn to set up your (diamond-frame) bicycle
correctly.
For many this may be true. For those who it is not, they likely give up
on cycling, which is unfortunate.

off I go.
The proper generic term is "hex key" (right "gotbent"😉.
