Road Saddles

As technology continues to bring startling changes to modern lifestyles, this has impacted also on the world of cycling. You could argue it has 'moved through the gears' with both vastly improved products and performance. Many remember the old leather road bike saddles that sat on very lively springs that were prone to leap out or break at any moment. Obviously there were more streamlined options available but nothing compared to the choices we have today. Let's examine a couple.

It is said that having a gel bike saddle is like having your favourite sofa strapped to your rear end. Generally they come in black or silver, will fit any standard or rail seat post and have a generous double gel layer for extra comfort. If you want to keep your existing saddle yet wish to benefit from a more comfortable ride then maybe treat yourself to a gel saddle cover. They're stretch fit with a locking toggle so will fit most saddles. They are very easy to attach so you won't waste time messing about.

There are so many good quality road bicycle saddles on the market. The spoon saddle with chromo rails is attractive, comfortable and lightweight. Even for rides of over 30 miles this particular perch is easy on the anatomy, so would make a good, solid purchase for the enthusiast. It cleans up quickly and easily so you won't be left with muddy stains that are difficult to shift.
