I had to give up cycling for nearly six months after rupturing my carotid artery last year (injury caused by being hit by a drunk driver when walking in 2002, artery developed a slight tear and over the years it got bigger until properly rupturing). Happily I've made a full recovery and celebrated last week by getting the bike out again and getting some miles in. Done just under 118 miles in four separate trips and the legs are a little sore now but happy.
What isn't happy is my posterior. I'm riding a Ridgeback Element, totally stock, and the arse was getting very sore. I'm training up for a 100 mile cycle trip in August (Bath to London, Action Research ride) and want a new saddle to use now and then. I'm a roads, cyclepath, and towpath cyclist.
Any recommendations from cheap to expensive are welcomed. I've read about the Selle An-Anatomica and it looks lovely. I'm really hunting around for suggestions now.
