Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Why is my saddle so uncomfortable ?
There are a few reasons why this could be:

  • The position and thickness of jean seams do not lend themselves to ideal cycling attire.
    Invest in a pair of cycle shorts especially if you're riding more than a few miles

  • Your saddle may be too narrow for your body.
    Women have wider "sitting bones" than men, therefore a saddle specifically designed for women should be more comfortable. Ask the cycle shop salesperson about the different saddle options, especially when buying a new bike

  • Your riding position may be contributing to the discomfort.
    If your handlebars are too far away, this may put extra pressure on genitals due to you stretching forwards
