First I want to say that this company is great. They have given me exceptional communication.I have a bicycle seat that I have had for 6 years, I put it on a new 30 speed hybrid 700c bicycle. I am 72 years old and about 180 pounds and 5' 9" tall and try to ride one day a week throughout the year going from 30 miles in cold weather to 50 - 65 miles in warm weather, I might add that I average only about 8.5 miles an hour. I was having problems with numbness in the nether regions after long rides and started looking for a better seat. I was impressed by the positive comments about the seat on the web site. I ordered it and received it in good time. After using the seat and then getting the gel cover for it, here are my recommendations. If you ride for 10 to 15 miles this seat will probably work great for you and you will be well pleased. After riding many miles I had no numbness in the nether regions. I would recommend using padded shorts with any bicycle seat. ( I used to laugh at this, but would not want to ride any length of time without it now) If you plan to ride past the 15 miles, I would recommend getting the gel seat cover for it, it does add extra comfort for longer rides. If you have sit bones that are 4.50 inches apart or more and plan on riding more than 20 miles at a time, this seat will probably not work for you even with the gel seat cover. With the gel cover your sit bones may be on the edge of the gel cover, and this may cause problems. If this is you, you probably need to look for a seat wider than 7.5 inches. That is why I have not given a 5 star rating. I found that on my long 8 -10 hour rides, I am needing something that will give all of me, good support. Unfortunately, this seat will not work for me on my long rides and I will have to continue my search. It did stop the numbness in the nether regions, but because my sit bones are wide, I was having soreness because the bones were setting on the edge of the seat for such long periods of times. If you fall into the less than 20 mile category, I can highly recommend this seat for you.

Pros
  • The light-weight and durable design of the Bikeroo Memory Foam Bike Seat make it a great investment that will last for years to come
Cons
  • May cause discomfort during extended periods of riding
