ouch! New Seat for Trainer?
Hi there,
I just installed a new cycleops trainer on my hybrid, a Trek 7500. It works great, and I have put a book under the front wheel so that I'm not tipped forward. But oh my god - after 20 minutes my butt and my private parts are numb! I realized that when I'm riding my bike on the road I can relieve the pressure by standing up from time to time, so that it never gets that bad. But the trainer does not allow for standing up/coasting time. You have to keep pedaling. So here's my question: Should I invest in one of those giant, cushy seats for my bike while it's on the trainer? Will it make a difference? I have tried putting a towel on top of my seat, and it helps a little but not a lot. I have one of those special "women's seats," btw. |

If your current seat is wide enough to support your sit bones, try tilting the seat forward a bit to reduce its contact with your privates. Just don't tilt it so far forward that you are sliding off of it.
