If you don’t want a part of your body to get sore, then that part shouldn’t be pushing against something that doesn’t move along with it. That’s the thinking behind the vabsRider bicycle saddle, the two sides of which pivot in time with your pedaling.

        Interesting. I hadn’t realised these were a thing.

        I get sore hips after long rides. I wonder if this would help.

          That might just be bike fit. I used to have sore hips and a sore back until I got handlebars that let me have a more upright position and it helped a ton.

            Yeah could be. It’s something I’m mindful of and is definitely one way to mitigate the problem.

            However, it happens with all three of my bikes.

            I’ve seen a physiotherapist a few times who’s given me some exercises to do to build up some strength in the right places and take the pressure off the joint - I’ve been pretty lazy with those though.

              If you adjusted your bikes yourself it’s totally possible that all of them aren’t adjusted properly. Go to a bike shop to get a professional fitting.

      I’ve ridden the Adamo that started the forked saddle trend over a decade ago. They are comfortable but only in the one position. Double railed seems uncomfortable to sit full upright on.
