Does anyone in net land have hands-on (posterior-on) experience
with the bicycle seat that is two rocking saddles (one for each bun)?
The ads seem to make it out to be the best thing since sliced bread.
I'm real curious about how a rider feels after a long ride on one.
Does the rocking motion pull the hairs on the back of the riders legs?
Does the design promote or eliminate chafing?
Most importantly to me (I have yet to chafe) how do the points of the
pelvis feel after not riding all winter and then riding 10-20 miles?
How about it? Surely someone must have bought one. If I missed this
discussion during one of my frenzied working periods of not reading the net,
send me mail.

My wife bought me an Easy Seat as a birthday present. I tried it and returned
it. I don't know if it helps with chafing because I did not ride on it long
enough. The problem was staying on it. There was nothing to keep me from
sliding forward or from side to side. Perhaps I would have gotten used to it
in time, but I had the feeling that the first bump would land me on the
crossbar or worse.
