Tales of a Cyclist, Ed. 1

Not that I'm a frenetic bicyclist. But still, I do enjoy riding my bike quite a lot. To be honest, it would be a shame if I did not - considering that it's only about 4-5 months since I bought it. One of the things I made sure to test thoroughly was the saddle. Many a cyclists can tell stories of saddles that at first seemed fit for their backsides, but turned out to be not quite perfect. I'll spare you the details. ;-) Anyways, I took my time choosing one and haven't been disappointed so far. With that background, just the imganition of riding one of the following bikes is causing me great pains already.
Or how would you like THIS option?

OUCH! In my estimation, only an a** made out of steel could take that... uhm, thinking about that, maybe not. ;-)
However, to put things in perspective: better to have an unbearable saddle than having none at all, right?

A disclaimer: this can be seen quite often around here. That cyclist is most probably in possession of a saddle, but might have taken it along to prevent theft of the sacred butt rest. ;-)
Alright, the cyclist will saddle her steel horse now and ride off into sunset. Duhh, should have checked my watch first. Well then, later! I'll be off then and just try to pass a few more motor scooters (did that yesterday for the first time - I can finally kinda understand why some drivers feel harassed by others driving tooooooooo slow in front of them. I was on my bike (see, no engine involved!) and I could easily overtake that lady on her laggardly chugging scooter!). So, off I am! Take care and ride safely! ;-)
