Other than buying a gel seat, what can I use to cushion my exercise bike seat? |
Something makeshift that might be around the house maybe? Towels have not worked very well so far. pillow, u might have to lower your seat, and tape it thought My sister made a cushion of sheepskin for her seat. It tends to slide off too. I borrowed my hubby's biker shorts; with built in padding but they got too warm for the summer... Went to store and bought some large "over night pads" perfect solution for my sessions on the exercise bike. Necessity is the mother of invention. Try cutting out a foam pad (like from an old foam sleeping pad or something like that) and securing it to the top of your seat using bands of fabric, elastics or even plastic shopping bags. This advice is mostly from my experience racing bikes, but it's applicable for exercise bikes. Try using bike shorts, they have padding built in. There are also bike seats that are built specifically for women, they are wider and shorter to accommodate womens anatomy better. Also if you vary between standing and sitting positions when you pedal it will relieve some of the discomfort. Lastly you'll find that the more you ride the more accustomed your body will be to sitting on the saddle and you'll feel less discomfort. always wear cycling shorts with the chamois (pad) sewn right in if you have chaffing issues, try Chamois Butter or Assos Cream, they are available at your local bike shops Get a pair of cycling shorts. They have padding sewn in to the crotch. They keep the padding just where you need it. |
