Review on Padded Gel Bike Seat Cover - Bikeroo Cushion For Peloton & Exercise: Adjustable For Men & Women'S Comfort On Stationary, Mountain & Road Bicycle Seats by Nick Kirschenmann

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I Like It, but. best in my review

I'm not really sure why exercise bikes are always made with young people in mind as far as the seats are concerned. Even when I was young, narrow seating would bother me within minutes. Now that I'm considered a "senior," the seats are even worse than before!So I bought a seat that was wider, and it was good, but it was hard and still not as comfortable as I'd like, so then I bought this gel seat covering which really improved the comfort level. And I would have given it a 5 star rating if it wasn't for the outside material. Listen, I'm an average height for a woman at an average weight, and I don't go out buying the latest exercise pants that are out there for exercise enthusiasts. I just wear average sweat pants when I get on my bike. So, although the seat is more comfortable with this additional cushion, the outside material is so slippery that I have to adjust how I'm sitting every few seconds (no kidding,) or I slip forward so much that I almost fall off and hit the handlebars! These gels seats are a wonderful idea for anyone who needs a seat to feel softer, but what good is it when I can't stay on?I thought long and hard before typing up this review because I don't like saying negative things, but I'm almost to the point where I'm going to remove this cushion completely. The shifting and adjusting is causing more chaffing than without it. I would BEG the manufacturer to change the type of material on the outside of this gel cushion to a different type that doesn't make me feel that I'm going to fall off head first!
