I've had my bike for a few weeks, well, over 2 months and when ever I ride for over an hour, I get bum pain, after 2 hours it becomes really discomforting. I've yet to break the 3 hour barrier because of this. The chaffing is pretty bad, my buttocks are absolutely glowing at the end, hurts to sit down the next day, then alone getting back on the bike.
My bike seat was pretty far forward, so my of the pressure/contact was in this area.
I was sitting far at the back of the seat.
1 night while out on the bike, I was wearing jeans rather then my usual cycling shorts and was slipping around in the seat a bit.
I know it sounds silly, but I slipped forward on the seat. So that the pressure was in these areas.
Felt a little wierd, but better. Anyway, I've moved my seat further backwards, so I'm now sitting on the front portion of the seat. I did a cycle yesterday for over an hour and felt pretty good. The area between my bum and meat and 2 veg felt like it took a bit of punishment, but no real discomfort. to the point that I was out on the bike again today and I felt fine, no pain for yesterday or glowing buttocks.
Have I just been sitting badly for all these weeks?
