I got motivated to go out a few weeks back, only went about 5 - 6 miles, legs were fine but my ass hurt like hell for 3 days (even with a good gel seat)
That's because you shouldn't be putting that much weight on your ass, it's a saddle not a seat. In other words, you're riding your bike wrong, have the wrong size of bike, or have the wrong bike for your style of riding.
lol, you act as if I've never ridden a bike before. Believe it or not, I used to leg-press over 1050, Biking was my primary fitness up until I started getting fat and lazy. I grew up in a rural area and rode my bike everywhere, then got into cycling pretty heavily. My point was that my glutes are not in shape and I need to get back into it.
Your ruined a gel seat. No cyclist would refer to a saddle as a seat and they certainly wouldn't buy a gel seat.
Are you kidding me? You can't ruin an old-school Schwinn gel seat/saddle/ass-holder....whatever special nomenclature you want to use. If you are honestly doubting me based upon the vocabulary I use for a bike seat, then I have no hope for you.
But to your point, I even have one of those after-market big ass gel seat covers over top of my gel "seat" and I still get my ass beat to death.
That was an autocorrect error. Anyway, don't sit on your saddle. You'd probably be more comfortable with a nice brooks or selle italia.
Are you smoking crack? What part of "I'm fat and out of shape" did you not comprehend? How the fuck am I going to get back into cycling without resting my fat ass on the "saddle" for at least a third of any given trip?
I know you're probably just poking fun at my fat ass, and I do deserve it, but, fuck you anyway (and your elitist cycling nomenclature)
