Bike Seats For Generous Posteriors

These were advertised on uk.rec.walking for some reason.

Would suit the "wide of arse".

And when you get to the first corner your "arse" will slide off

Though they are rather lacking in utility AFAICT, that isn't the reason.
If it was a problem then everyone with a 'bent would slide off on the
corners, but we don't...

The basic problem I envisage is you wouldn't be able to pedal properly
because the front of the seat will interfere with your legs moving up
and down. On a 'bent you get round that by your legs moving above the
seat, but with the crank on a wedgie being where it is you really need
some sort of cutaway design of seat.

I was thinking of something similar to this effect as the steering of a bent
is somewhat different to a wedgie.

I suspect that the people who will use these wouldn't be pedalling
properly anyway. :-/

Probably because of the reception the bloke got when he spammed
rec.bicycles.misc...

I see he's also spammed misc.survivalism, alt.rv,
alt.support.hemorrhoids & alt.support.impotence, among others.

Help me, Mrs. Medleycott, I don't know what to do. I've only got three
bullets and there's four of Mötley Crüe.

Not really: initiate with a slight turn of the bars and lean into the
bend. It's the lean that stops you sliding off and is needed whether
you're sitting up or sitting back.

The exact picture in my mind involved leather and a Brooks nameplate,
but otherwise, that's the sort of thing that would probably work quite
acceptably... ;-)
