Just bought a speedometer/milometer thing for mine. Might even buy a helmet. Waiting for it to arrive. I've done more bike riding this year while the roads have been quiet than ever before, and it's brilliant. If seat and handlebars are right and you sit well back, it doesn't hurt.
Paul O'Grady told the hilarious story of when he was performing in pantomime and had to swing from one end of the stage to the other on a rope above the stage. He found that the costume and the roping chafed so he stuffed a sanitary towel between the costume and the 'flying rope' apparel. Unfortunately, on one occasion as he was 'flying through the air' one of the sanitary towels fell out and landed in the audience. He said in the interview that he still wakes up at night screaming and remembering about this experience.
Ouch! You need a very expensive bike seat AND pair of those Lycra pants with built in compression padding. They look gross, but if they make you feel ok, who cares!
Yes, padded cycle shorts are the best. Add to that a gel seat, oh heaven. I started riding more seriously in my 50's and I will swear to both. Makes a huge difference in how long you can ride without injury. Barb
Keep going! I lost 65 lbs last year, put on 20 lbs because I heard the word "pandemic"... funny how that sounds like, "eat chocolate cake", ...I am back at it! Moving,eating towards a healthier me! Cheers!
You need "specialist clothing" - cycling shorts with padded undershorts. Look for mountain biking wear which is light & loose fitting, and passes for everyday shorts. You don't have to wear clingfilm lycra to ride a bike.
John your bum does eventually 'toughen up' if you keep at it. Go bike riding often enough and it will get easier.. Plus the padded shorts and padded seat are well worth any price or embarrassment.. I know all this from experience. Several years ago i was up to riding 20 miles at a time.. Hugs! deb

Buy yourself some well-padded bicycle shorts, John. They make all the difference in the world!
ReplyDeleteIt would make him look like he was wearing a nappy (diaper to you). Alternatively, he could just wear a nappy.
DeleteI'm wide already
DeleteGet a comfy bicycle seat and riding clothes before embarking on frequent rides. Just sayin'!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy choir and take a pillow to sit on if necessary.
Hugs!
The consequence of cheap and poorly fitting underpants.
ReplyDeleteI had non on
DeleteThat would definitely count as poorly fitting and cheap 😂
DeleteJust my grey shorts
DeleteThe ones with the stains
DeleteThat could be every item of clothing you wear darling x
DeleteHarsh
DeleteBut
True x
Hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteWell, no pain, no gain they say. No?
I think you should talk to Dave, from Riding On. He’s an expert on bikes.
XoXo
But is he an expert on sore bums?
DeletePadded leggings, super soft seat and anti-chafe cream. Makes all the difference.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't bare it if my sanitary towel fell out
DeleteI know what a gusset is in a garment but not on your body. But, from the comments, I assume your crotch is hurting. ???
ReplyDeleteI'm being flowery
DeleteYou've been watching too much Sewing Bee
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for tomorrow. I hope claire gets through
DeleteA gel bicycle seat and some padded cycling britches should sort it.
ReplyDeleteOuch! You need a very expensive bike seat AND pair of those Lycra pants with built in compression padding. They look gross, but if they make you feel ok, who cares!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to sellotape a scatter cushion on the seat
DeleteSo, if I find a cushion on the prom I'll know it's yours :-)
Deleteouch...been there, done that.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it's not so bad you'll end up in a different choir section tonight :)
ReplyDeleteThe sopranos are so elitist
DeleteI see lots of male cyclists bottoms and they don't wear pants definitely and they have quite tight ones too x
ReplyDeleteDirty girl
DeleteButt when I'm behind and they are close ahead you just can't miss the bottom thrust in your face John as you are dog walking x
DeleteBike shorts, yes they make them in your size. In the mean time find someone to kiss it and make it all better.
ReplyDeleteLol chance would be a fine thing
Deleteawwwwwwwwwwwww, john has a sore bum. :(
ReplyDeleteStop it........lol
DeleteKeep Pushing - Nothing Better Than A Bike Ride To Feed The Soul - Free Your Mind And Your Bike Will Follow

ReplyDeleteBarb
No pain, no gain! You know that’s a crap statement
ReplyDeleteI must try cycling again. I used to love it, then a dodgy knee put an end to it.
ReplyDeleteKeep going! I lost 65 lbs last year, put on 20 lbs because I heard the word "pandemic"... funny how that sounds like, "eat chocolate cake", ...I am back at it! Moving,eating towards a healthier me! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteIs it snowing there?
ReplyDeleteOh dear, my legs sometimes feel chafed and I use a cream that I buy in the baby section called diaperene.
ReplyDeleteGussets, liver, moustaches - your choice of subject is never ending.
ReplyDeleteI shall pray for your gusset !!!! x
ReplyDeleteGood on you.

ReplyDeleteSudocream to sooth the chopped liver gusset
ReplyDeleteDid it help you to reach the high notes?

ReplyDeletePain in the "gusset"? This is not a term I know, except in sewing! But judging that you've been biking I can guess where you're hurting.
ReplyDeleteChopped liver, lol!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you HAD a gusset. But, I supposed those padded bike shorts would help.
