That is really a shame. From what I have read, many female riders have difficulty finding a comfortable saddle. Lately I am doing much better with my cycling different strokes for different folks attitude. But even in most ardent 'no diapers' days, I accepted that saddle makers just had not figured out a lot of women riders. Nowadays though whatever the rider wants to wear I am good with it. Just don't expect me to wear the dang things! On Thursday, August 15, 2013 3:01:56 PM UTC-5, Lynne Fitz wrote: > > Reading this, I see that all the posters are male, except for me.
