How to Ride Longer Without Saddle Pain

You're Not "Doing it Wrong"

You're not doing it wrong if you're currently experiencing pain on your bicycle. You just don't have the proper attire yet to help you.

Reasons You're Hurting

• You Don't Actually Have Cycling Gear: Most "shorts" people have for their bicycle isn't geared towards cycling. They're not designed to reduce skin irritation, wick away sweat, or provide comfort to your sit bones.
• No Proper Padding: True comfort on a bicycle is achieved with proper padding for your sit bones while on a bicycle saddle

Bibs Are Your Answer

• Apparel that moves with your body: Cycling bibs are designed to move with your body as your ride, greatly reducing skin irritation and chafing.
• Shoulder Straps: Instead of waistbands that dig into your skin like regular shorts, bib shorts hang on your shoulders (think of them like overalls).
• Sit Bones Secured: Foam (or gel) padding protects your sit bones from hurting while maintaining adequate blood flow throughout your body.
