I don't do mega distances at high speed, but often wear cycling shorts underneath for extra comfort - though generally a good well adjusted saddle can make more of a difference. </p> <p>All my bikes have different saddles. Some are more comfortable than others, but I've never taken the time to work out why - just get rid of ones that 'offend'. </p> <p>When mountain bikes were relatively new I took one on the St. Andrews Ride. A complete stranger 'told me off' for wearing jeans. The fat tyres were more inconvenient. </p>
