Saddle Sores and Scars and Suffering and Sorrow and Pain: The Long-Term Consequences of a Wrong Seat

[fblum]

Wow, what a revolutionary idea - that bike shops and manufacturers might be profiting from our collective discomfort! I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that the solution to saddle sores hasn't been a fancy new cream or a pricey seat cover all along. It's almost as if the industry is more interested in making a quick buck than actually addressing the root cause of the problem. Who would've thought that poorly designed saddles might be the culprit? Not me, that's for sure. I mean, it's not like we've been complaining about saddle sores for decades or anything. Thanks for blowing the lid off this conspiracy!

It's wild how we keep throwing money at these so-called solutions while the real problem sits right under our butts. Why are we okay with slapping on creams and covers instead of demanding saddles that actually fit us? It's like we’re stuck in this cycle of mediocrity, and the industry knows it. Are we so conditioned to accept pain that we ignore the obvious? When did we decide that discomfort is just part of the ride?
