How can I alleviate saddle soreness?

Pain-Free Riding

A healthy saddle soreness is the result of a long ride. If you haven't been on a long ride and you have discomfort or if anything other than your sit bones hurt, there is something wrong with the fit of your saddle. It's helpful to invest in a saddle that is more firm—one that localizes the bulk of the pressure in the sit bones. If you fit your saddle correctly, you shouldn't apply pressure to and irritate the soft tissue in the front.

If the soreness of your seat bones is really getting to you, there is also a solution. Investing in a saddle seat saver can ease this pain as well as provide protection for your back. Saddle seat savers fits over the saddle, considerably reduces stress on the seat bones, and allows for a lot more comfort. These covers are ideal for professional riders who spend hours on end in the saddle or distance riders.
