If everything "matches up", and the appropriate callouses have developed, how long should I be
able to sit on the saddle without *having* to get up to regain some circulation?

On flat terrain, I can sit on my saddle in one position for hours at a time (moving my hands around,
but not my rear end).

In the hills, I put more pressure on my butt at times, but I also move around a lot more to
even it out.

Depends on what you mean, but very long, ideally, I guess. Yesterday I did about 40 km (two hours)
without breaks, but the rest of the ride I had some problems in the rear end... Then again I put 40%
more kilos over my previous personal record.

: Is it 15 minutes or an hour or what? The only thing that keeps me from extended bike riding is
: very short seating endurance.

You can get a recumbent if you want to do very long rides.
