>Does anyone out there have any info on EASYSEAT, a new bicycle seat >design by JB Two Corp in St. Paul, Minn? The ad I saw looks very good >but I would like to hear from someone who has tried it. I bought one of these seats because I found a regular seat very uncomfortable for my delicate private parts (I am a woman). The EASYSEAT certainly was comfortable in that respect but I found that the front edges of the saddle, even though curved downwards, dug into the back of my thighs. If I tilted the seat to an extreme degree (they recommend having it tilted -- higher at the back and lower at the front) then it stopped digging into the back of my legs but by then I was sliding off it. I feel that the oval shape of the two halves is too long. Perhaps it would be more comfortable if it was just two circles. I have often thought that it might work well if I put it on the bicycle backwards, but I have never gotten around to trying it. --Judy McMullan ...!{allegra|hcr|utzoo|utcsrgv|bunker|decvax}!watmath!jamcmullan

Do what I did: Buy a Brooks Professional, ride it in pain for 500 miles, and enjoy it for the rest of your life. There's nothing like it! Matt @ OSU

Please excuse me because I wasn't here for the original article,
but being one who is not endowed with much in the posterior area, I find
ten-speed seats to be most painful. I sent away for a bicycle air seat
from Starcrest of California. The cost was $6.99, down from $9.99.
The stock number is 1-8730-2. I found the seat (cover actually) to be
quite comfortable for me. It inflates, and can have more or less air
put in, depending on your preference. It's not much to look at, but
it's functional. Mailing address for Starcrest is:
3150 Redhill Ave.
Costa Mesa, CA 92826
