Numb Arse Solutions..


Looking at seat padding today, after our rear end issues over the Cornwall tour. With Airhawks just looking too expensive for what they are, I did some more web trawling again and figured on two options to try out..

First off is the tried and tested, old school solution.. sheepskin! haha I've ordered a pad from Lambland and I'm hoping the comfort and benefits outway the joke magnet effect it will carry along with it. We will see..

The other option in the running was the Putnams Inflatable Stadium Seat, working on a similar concept to an Airhawk. Sold by a company for people with limited mobility for about £10, it looks like a bargain, gets a few good reviews on bike forums, but has a few bad reviews on Amazon, so I went for the sheepskin instead. This also has the dubious advantage of doubling as a pillow too, but with the amount of baked beans we consumed on the tour, I think I'll give that feature a miss!

If all else fails, then I might have to DIY something from the works bubble wrap/cushion machine, possibly in combination with the sheepskin. :)
