    X10 on the saddle. The most important part of the bike IMO.
    That and make sure the bike is fitted properly.
    As far as clothes go - a biking shirt will wick moisture away.
    The pants will provide extra padding and help prevent chaffing.

    You can also look into Monkey Butter - or Chamois Butter, will also help w/ Chaffing .


    I picked up one of these last year on clearance and it has done wonders for me (and my boys).

    Haha!!! Trust me - the design looks jacked I know, and I always get looks about it.

    But I was having issues w/ my "junk" going numb on long rides. Since I get this saddle, I have had no issues at all. It did take some getting used to. You sit more on the back of your *kitten* than a normal seat, so that took a bit of getting used to.
    I probably have around 1500 miles on it now, and I love it.
