Just got a new bike and the seat is killing me, anyone know of a good bike seat, wide one--not that my butt is wide, just more comfortable!!!

    Mrs. KB enjoys a cushier bike saddle as well. Not sure about memory foam, but she prefers the gel saddles, and they are available in a bit wider style. We found hers at local bike shop, but Target had some too. They also make gel seat covers, that will cushion your current saddle, if that would work.

    your bum needs to build up a bit of "bike fitness" too, also see if you can get a fit at a bike shop, some places will even let you test ride saddles.

    (when i started riding as an adult i bought the squishiest seat i could find, however when i started doing longer rides i actually ended up getting quite a hard saddle with a cut-out, so dont be afraid to try some of the "scarier" looking ones)

    smaller, firmer seat + bike shorts.
