Really? Really?

After just having surgery to remove my tailbone, the thought of having this thing wedged between my cheeks makes me cringe. I make an effort on my own to keep proper riding form.

    Well, that doesn't look comfortable at all!

    Interesting. How would that even work if you are wearing a chamois?

    I'm no professional rider, that's for sure. But I just can't imagine wanting to ride with solid wedgy.

    I think you may need to be a Gentleman of a particular persuasion to like a saddle like this... If you know what I mean??? :wink:

    You have to wonder which articles are satire.....the expression that comes to mind is "tongue in cheek" but I am not sure that is appropriate here.

    I think a trailer hitch ball screwed into the top of the seatpost would be better.

    Hmmmm, why not just take the saddle off entirely? There's a perfectly good seatpost down there!
