Saddle Demo Library Program
A critical component of any cyclist's comfort and performance on the bike is the saddle. The better a saddle fits an individual, the more comfortable that person will be while riding. This directly translates into riding faster, stronger, and longer, as well as not encountering lingering issues off the bike. As professional bike fitters, we have seen the effects of a poorly fitting saddle on many cyclists:
General sit-bone pain
Pubic area numbness and discomfort
Saddle sores
Sciatica-foot pain
Hip-alignment issues
Loss of power
Most cyclists have experienced the need to shift around on their seat to find a place that alleviates soreness and/or numbness. If a saddle doesn't fit properly, no amount of shuffling and repositioning will provide long term comfort or relief. The subsequent adjustments made to avoid the pain typically put the cyclist out of their optimal position on the bike and can lead to other problems. This is not something a cyclist has to endure and should not be considered as normal or part of the cost of riding a bike.
Choosing a saddle is a very personal decision and no one saddle is right for everyone. Further, finding the best option takes time on the road, not just a few pedal strokes on a trainer. We understands this and will work with you to find the right saddle and fit options so that you can ride pain free. Let us help you make the right decision for you.
In-office Appointment
Use either your own bike or our adjustable Müve bike to try saddles. Our staff will interview you and help determine which saddles would possibly work. You can then try them in office and, if you choose, check them out to test demo on the road.
