Saddle posture and selection are very important for cycling

Sitting posture and choice are two important riding needs. By selecting the correct saddle and posture, the opportunity to minimize saddle sores and reduce hip pressure can be maximized. The choice of saddle depends on your riding skills, but there is still no saddle posture suitable for everyone.

It is recommended that the saddle be able to support the weight of the body with the "sitting bone" on the saddle, which means it should be wide enough. For men, a very narrow seat is harmful because the weight of the body is placed on soft tissues. Because women have wider sitting bones, the saddle in the main resting area should be wider.

The seat can be flat or slightly curved. Position issues may arise, such as sharp bending, as it places the sitting bone below the center of the saddle, increasing hip pressure. Curvature of 6 degrees or less is ideal.

Riders should avoid using thick padded saddles as they can become very harmful in the long run. In addition, riders can choose wedge-shaped or gel cushion saddles. There is no simple way to choose the best comfort, other than riding on the selected design. Because some bike shops offer test drive plans, if you are not satisfied, you can easily return the seat.

Mastering style or cycling and positioning is crucial for improving comfort. For example, for some people, a slightly off center saddle may be more comfortable compared to the upper tube, while others may need to adjust their sitting posture. If the nose of the saddle is uncomfortable, the rider should be able to tilt the saddle slightly to the right or left.

Moving or leaving on the saddle helps to avoid sustained stress and discomfort. In addition, when climbing high altitudes, you can stand up and briefly step on the pedals, as this ensures normal blood circulation in the body.

Developing good habits can make it easy for you to ride on the road. It is a good habit to try to sit in a wider area of the saddle. In addition, using shock absorbing seats for better comfort is considered a good habit. It is recommended not to carry unnecessary backpacks, as this will only increase the difficulty of adjusting weight posture. Obese people may also encounter the same problem.

In addition, mastering the physical ability of bicycles and knowledge of traffic regulations are four important requirements for safe cycling. For each of these requirements, cyclists must put in some effort. But in the long run, these skills will put him in a favorable position.
