Default Can Saddles Restrict Bloodflow To Legs?

A complete and total solution to the problem of saddles is the recumbent
style of bicycle. Recumbents provided a proper seat which you can sit on all
day provided you tweak it for comfort.


Ed Dolan is correct (and I do not write that often).

The best way to tweak a recumbent
seat is to put the highest quality foam you can find on the seat base. That
will cure any and all butt problems!

Some find the inflatable Therm-a-Rest™ pads to be superior to foam. For
those with highly sensitive posteriors, there is the foam used for
high-quality wheelchair seats.

For most, a normal higher density foam, particularly on a sling-mesh
seat, is fine for 200+ km per day rides.
