If you don't want a part of your body to get sore, then that part shouldn't be pushing against something that doesn't move along with it. That's the thinking behind the vabsRider bicycle saddle, the two sides of which pivot in time with your pedaling.

    I use it when wearing padded shorts, but I really shouldn’t need to wear padded shorts. I may need to get different underwear, so the fabric doesn’t bunch up or crease, but that’s about it.

    When I was riding with a Brooks C15, I pretty much had to wear padded shorts or it felt like I was sitting on a wooden plank. I endured it for thousands of KM until I realized that there are so many better options out there.

        My big problem with all of that though is that now I have to do prep work before I can ride the bike. I just want to be able to get on the bike and go, I don’t want to have to do stuff.

        This is for just riding around on simple terrain and on the quieter roads. Obviously if you’re going to go off-road then you need to make some preparations, but that’s reasonable. I shouldn’t have to put on special gear just to go to the shops.
