Large Bicycle Seats

"Perfect Bike Riding Comfort with Large Bicycle Seats..."

....Perhaps you're a bit overweight or simply have a large frame, and you wonder, "Are there large bicycle seats are out there?"  The answer is "Yes!" Bicycle accessory companies know the bicycle saddle seat must fit the rider, so you have many to choose from.  Take "Cycle In Comfort's" Revla seat, which can hold up to 320 pounds.

Another option is to look at wide bicycle seats.  Easy Seat, by Hobson, has two seat pads that work separately   And you can change the width to fit your size.  Isn't that a great idea?  You can adjust your bicycling seat positions to fit your bottom.

Comfort Bike Seats

Comfort bicycle seats are also part of the latest riding trend. EZ Rider's Black Padded Comfort Seat uses extra padding in a split seat, with two independent sections.  This innovative design gives the rider a very comfortable seat for long or short rides.

The GT Comfort Hole Gel Bicycle is a little different.  In this seat, the separate pads join at the nose.  Other seats encourage comfort with a cutaway. For instance, the WTB's SST-X2 Bicycle Seat has a cutaway on one side of the nose, which makes the rider more comfortable.  If you want to add some pizzazz you can add a campagnolo record titanium seat post

Wide Bike Saddle

If you want a wide comfort saddle, then the Bazooka Velo bicycle seat is for probably for you.  This wide saddle is slightly raised in the sitting-bones-area and has a cutaway section.  This seat is for both men and women.  Some may choose it for mountain bike seats.

Seatguy has wide saddles just for men, like the Men's Specific Saddle, which is eight inches wide; eleven inches long, and has plastic guards around the seat to protect against wear.

Meanwhile, Seatguy's women's saddles are a bit shorter at ten inches, but just as wide.  The underside is cutout to give more flexibility.

Nose-Less Bicycle Seat

A seat made for large-sized riders is the Ideal Bike Seat, with a design shaped like the human skeleton.  This seat is nose-less, has a leather cover, and plenty of sitting space for the rider.

Matching your body size to the seat can make riding less painful.  If you're sitting bones are not on the bicycle seat pads, then you're soft tissues can be under to much pressure.  Most riders can find relief by changing to a better-fitting seat.

Another part of the bicycle seat that affects its comfort-level is the base of the saddle.  In comfort bicycle seats, the base is slightly thin at the sitting bones area to absorb shock and be flexible.

Likewise, comfort seats have covers which are flexible, but still strong.  The covers are not slippery, yet smooth.  For instance, leather covers add to a seat's comfort-level by meeting all these requirements.

Leather Bicycle Seat Covers

Seats with leather covers are popular not just in the United States, but in England as well.  For example, Bike Heaven sells leather seats with cutouts.  The leather has an extra benefit: it lets the rider cool off faster by being a breathable material.

Lycra covers can also be good for bicycle comfort seats.  Plastic enforcement can keep the Lycra from being too slippery and wearing out too easily. You might give Lycra seats a try.  Panacea Products makes a heavy-duty Gel Set with Lycra.

The design of the seat also plays a role in comfort.  Cutaways and the right nose length can make the seat comfortable.  For instance, Terry's Falcon Y seat has a cutaway and
 an upside-down v-wing in the seat's rear.

Today's bicycle seats keep riders' needs in mind.  So, whether you need a comfortable large or wide seat, shop around and you'll find just the right one.

What seems to smooth out the road and make bike riding fun?  Large bicycle seats!
