Can you change out your seat? Sometimes fitness stores have different seats you can try and then buy the one that feels the best. Happy hunting!0

put a pillow or folded towel on top!0

you can buy padded biking shorts that will help cushion you when riding, something like this:

Get a new seat that is made for women with a slit down the middle. Sometimes they're a little pricey but they're worth it! I got mine from Terrybicyles.com- a bike company that makes woman's bikes and sells bike stuff for women.0

I couldn't find a solution, either but I eventually got used to mine. It's still not the most comfortable seat in the house, but it doesn't make me walk funny anymore when I get off of it. :laugh:0

I hate to say it, but you're just going to have to toughen up. I recently started riding my bike (a Spinning bike) again. It took about a week for my *kitten* to quit hurting, but it finally did! :bigsmile:0

The slit down the middle helps relieve pressure on the nerves between the butt and genitals. Many guys who use traditional seats long term (as in, for 20 miles a day for 5 days a week) have nerve/impotency problems so just FYI, they're unisex.0 -
I have been spinning for a long time and at first my bum hurt also. It will get better, but if you want
they do have chamios that have padding and that will help protect!
I have bought a few of those and they really help! GOOOD LUCK!0 -
the more you use it, the less it will hurt you. you some how get used to it. my butt is always sore after i ride returning from a break period.0

You can turn your bike into a recumbent type by raising the seat as high as possible and pulling a chair up to the back of the bike. I find this helps my older clients that don't have the balance to sit on the seat. Good luck.0
