How to Prevent Saddle Sores
Select a Suitable Saddle
The simplest way to prevent saddle sores is to choose a properly-fit saddle for your bike. In general, saddles are available in different sizes and shapes, which may suit various riding positions. If you are typically in the aero positions, most of the bodyweight is placed on the soft tissue, while those cyclists with an upright position tend to distribute their weight on the sit bones. You should also find a saddle that is suitable for the pelvis. For instance, an upright position may need a saddle that is wider at the back. Should you go for a tilted or flat saddle position? The pelvis will eventually determine the best angle for you. Overall, it is worth doing your own research to find the most suitable saddles for your bicycle. While it may take time, your hard work will definitely pay off. [9]
