So let’s just say I been getting a little roughed up in the soft spots down below since I recently adjusted my seat. However I can’t just put my seat back to how it was because it is much better positioned now and I can ride more aggressively and it gives me a better posture. I was reading around that it could be from riding with cotton, which is usually what I’m wearing. I have been commuting for like 6 months now in cut off jeans and it’s never been a problem. More reason to believe it is related to the damn seat positioning.

So in hopes that the seat can stay where it is and I can get some crotch relief I purchased a pair of gel padded biking underwear. These can go under any regular pair of shorts and hopefully will work out for me. It is the next logical step (well I guess adjusting the seat would be, but hey…) They actually feel pretty cool and I can see why roadies would dig on dressing up in cycling gear. Although the gel chamois makes it feel like I am wearing a tiny diaper under everything.  I will be giving them a chance today. I may report back depending on how great or terrible the whole thing is.
