    Need some advice on "Saddle soreness".

    I am a new rider and after two days of cycling my cheeks are pretty sore. Is this normal? Any advice/tips much appreciated.

    M.

    Padded shorts do help. And over time I think our butts get used to riding.

    If it persists, you may want to try out different seats. I had one seat that was just dreadful. I tried for 2 weeks before I gave up on it.
