I've gotten really uncomfortable on my bike and I don't know why

[Pat "5mph"]

Jaz, could be the saddle. I used the fat ladies saddle my lbs put on Boris quite happily for a year, then suddenly it was no comfort anymore, had to change to a slimmer one
Maybe you lost weight in the bum area

Be better to arrange a meet...paying postage negates the free test drive

Is it bad that I don't know what Campsies is?

I'm rarely ever in Glasgow unfortunately, I've never got any reason for heading up that way

Presume you'd want to try before next cc ride. If so can meet in Glasgow on Saturday. Offers there...

[mr messy]

If it is the same spot getting sore each and every time, is the skin red in that area? (a mirror will help). If it is can I suggest you apply savlon to it 2 or 3 times a day and ensure you keep the area clean and dry. (Savlon works wonders on stopping saddle sores developing).
Otherwise, and not to put too fine a point on it, how often are the cycling shorts getting washed and with what?

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Hmm, it does sound like the beginning of a saddle sore. I use sudocreme though I'm sure Savlon does the same kind of soothing and prevention job. I've also got some Assos chamois cream which does the same but more expensively - and with a tingle!

 

[uphillstruggler]

+1 for the magic potion that is sudocrem, i dont need a tingle

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Since no one else has said it I will. Sounds like you have caught a dose and you need to get to the clinic

Maybe it's the cycling Gods punishing the OP for using the word 'gotten' in the thread title?
