Finally had enough of the indoor bike saddle after trying various things over the months. It really is awful and literally a pain in the bum. Everything else about it is fine and it has really improved my fitness dramatically. Don't get me wrong, outdoors is where it's at but this gets me fitter for it and is handy in bad weather like today or so Cali isn't too neglected. So, after this morning's painful ride, I took the new Brooks B17 Special off the Brompton and fitted it to the Schwinn 800ic indoor bike. Much tweaking and getting height and fore and aft right. Seems much better.

Now to decide about a saddle for poor Brommie, who also gave his pedals to the new road bike recently. He feels a bit canibalised and is now sporting an old cast off saddle.

First world problems but your bum is quite important when cycling.
