Hey there everyone. This is going to be my first year for the ride and I am super excited to get out there and do this. However I am looking for some advice on the perfect seat to put on my bike, the one seat that people recommend the most for long distance rides. Any help would be great.
I'd point you to a local bike shop as they will likely have different models for you to try. A seat is a very personal thing and what I recommend, you could very well hate...even though I love it. The secret is to try a bunch and get the one you like.
As a general guide, the super soft gel ones are great for newer riders to assist with the toughening up of the butt, but they don't generally do well in the long haul. Unless you are racing, you probably don't need the super-ultra-itty-bitty light weight one either. You'll likely be somewhere in between.
