    ...hoping to get motivated to get into shape - I really think I'll enjoy it.

    Rode a couple of miles tonight and came to one conclusion....



    ..... I need a new bike seat. My 'taint wasn't designed to hold that much weight.

    In all seriousness, take that to heart. I've had to have scar tissue surgically removed from my urinary tract twice because of that. The second time I didn't have insurance and I couldn't afford general anesthesia.

    It was not pleasant.

    I recommend a Brooks B-17 for the big boys. I ride a Brooks Team Professional, which is a bit stiffer and it really works well. It's a hard slab of leather that in no way looks like it should be comfortable, but it just is. http://www.wallbike.com/B17.html

    Here's a pic of my saddle:
