My Bum Hurt

[Chris S]

Should have used Vaseline - or is that for a different type of bum pain?

I believe it is all bum pain. Baggies Man, has the bum pain abated more now with the cycling shorts?

I would slap anything on my bum if it stopped it from hurting.

Once you have time in the saddle check your saddle is level and how far back it is on the rails, even a few minor changes can turn a butt killer into something bearable.

How do you figure out what the correct position should be?

General information is available on the web, but trial and error and fine tuning provide the answer.

2 weeks for me. Now I hardly notice it until I get to 25 miles or so. Soon goes though.
Keep going and you will be fine.

I get some aches and pains, but I've decided to become a masochist so I can enjoy it
