Question

If i ride my bike, and afterwards my *** hurts, does that mean i have a big ***?

Answer 1

No it does not!   lol.

I place great emphasis on choosing the correct saddle!

The same saddle recommended by one person does not necessarily mean it will suit another.  A female will generally need a wider saddle than a man, to accommodate larger seat bones.  

As a roadie I use a hard, narrow flat saddle (Selle Italia SLR Carbonio) as my weight is evenly distributed from saddle to bars.  If your position is more upright, then you may need a saddle with more padding (gel saddles are popular at the moment) - Its your seat bones that need the padding not all over the saddle so choose wisely. Go to your local bike shop and try a few.

Be aware though,- that saddles may take a while to 'bed-in' and if you are new to cycling, your butt will protest a little anyway.

Best of luck.

Answer 2

Not necessarily.  Most of the time it's because the seat isn't positioned right to support your ***.

You need to buy a multitool and carry it with you when you ride, so you can make on-the-spot adjustments to see if you can find a comfortable seat position.

There are three things you can adjust on the seat:

- Pitch (you can make the front of the seat point up or down).

- Horizontal (you can slide the seat forward or backward on its mounting rails by a few centimeters).

- Height (the most obvious adjustment).

You need to experiment and systematically try different positions by adjusting those three things until you find a comfortable position.  Even a tiny change can make a big difference--  For instance, changing the pitch by just a degree can dramatically redistribute from front to back how your weight is supported by the seat.

If you tried all sorts of different combinations of those three adjustments and still can't find a comfortable position, then think about getting a different seat.

Good luck.

Answer 3

no idea mate .. ask someone who knows the size of it

Answer 4

Not necessarily, but cycling will give you a beautiful a**!  :-D  You may want to adjust the fore and aft positioning of the seat as well as invest in a good pair of padded bike shorts.  They really do work well.

Answer 5

No matter what saddle you're using, it always helps to stand up every now and then while your riding. When you're going down a hill, approaching a stop sign, etc, stand up and count to 10. You'll get circulation going again, and the numbness will go away.

Answer 6

Not necessarily ... it could simply indicate you are normal.

First, your seat must be adjusted right and you have to sit on it so your "sit bones" are on the padded area right. Second, seats differ and since so do people it can be a problem matching seat to ***. Third, it takes a while to break in your *** to any seat. Finally, bike shorts with a good padded artifical chamois (worn without underwear to prevent chaffing) can really help.  If everything else fails, a gel padded seat may be the final step.
