I know those biker shorts aren’t for everyone but the padding in them upgrades any seat. I wear mine under my baggy cargo shorts to save the community the sight of me in tights.10.8 miles ride today. My longest so far.
Maybe I will upgrade the seat. I ain't that tough.
Definitely used turbo to get me back quicker which was fun.
Had my first fall sort of. Stumbled off to the left while trying to start on a hill.
I proudly recovered but the bike got its first scratch. All good.
On behalf of the entire community. Thank You.I know those biker shorts aren’t for everyone but the padding in them upgrades any seat. I wear mine under my baggy cargo shorts to save the community the sight of me in tights.
Speed was zero. Embarrassing maybe. Learning to clip in and out was interesting. Best done on the flat. LolWhen you fell, consider the speed, and could it be controlled?

Looking back at these post I think the seat post will be a reward after I lose weight.I ride a 9.9s The Allant is a great bike. If you find the hard tail a bit tough on the tush, I highly recommend a Kinekt Body Float suspension seat post. It makes a big difference when adjusted properly, which is easy to do by following the videos on their site.
