Bicycle seats


I don't know what to say but this is kind of strange so don't laugh. When I ride my bike for a period of time certain parts of my body Fall asleep. I was wondering if it was the seat and what seat you would recomend?

I have the normal narrow seat.

People go out and buy new saddles because the old one hurts their backside. Then as they ride throughout the season, it gets more comforatable.

Next season they start all over again.

It's because they aren't used to riding and have to re-condition for it.

You may, however find that if you tilt the saddle forwards a bit your parts will be less likely to get numb. Lots of nerves down there you are putting pressure on and until you get acclimated to it, it will be uncomforatable.

I adjusted the seat last night and rode for a mile. I didn't have the tingles. However my tire went flat.
