Bicycle Riding



Recommended Posts

I started riding my bicycle again. I bought a new gel seat. Anyone have tips for making it anymore comfortable. I bought a cloud 9. The guy in the store said not to get the top of the line cause it isn;t much of a difference between that one and the one i bought.

I ride about 60 miles a week but I've never invested in a comfortable bike seat. I may have to look into this. Thanks for the reminder.

My bike saddle is not very comfortable. I have good chamois (bike shorts) that help a little . After a while I can't feel anything down there anyway. ;-)

Sorry I can't be of more help. I was looking at the "adamo road" saddle. The price is a big roadblock for me at this point. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Here is the saddle I am looking at: http://www.ismseat.com/saddle/adamo-road

I found a few things that can give you a more comfortable ride on your bicycle. Having a wider seat, tilting the seat down in front just slightly. Building up more tolerance to your seat by strengthening your glutes.

I bought a cloud 9 seat and use padded bike shorts and that seems to do the trick

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
