Default Cruiser saddles, dual type spring better?

Anybody have actual experience with the difference between saddles with
dual type springs and simple springs? By "dual type" I mean spring
assemblies that include both a compressed and an extended spring in one.

Thanks.

"You can stand while coasting down any little hill"

Yeah... That and then pedaling while sitting down might sound
counterintuitive, but it does work.

I understand it's a matter of conditioning and buying a better seat.

I spent almost one year adjusting/adapting to inline street skating.

I would add to the "Tilt Up" section that a micro-adjustable seatpost is
pretty much a necessity. A quarter-inch diff in the height of the
saddle horn is *huge*.... much smaller adjustments make beeeeeg diffs...

The idea that only a recombinant should have a comfortable seat sounds
silly. It's for a racing bike. The seat is so uncomfortable, I race from
here to there...

Why, are you thinking of buying a recumbent?
