You have to be comfortable in the saddle

Can you let your entire body weight rest on your bike saddle? I mean, feet out of the pedals and legs hanging down. If you can't do this, then you have to accomodate to somehow to be comfortable.

There are only a few ways to make these accomodations... From the feet, hands or shifting on the saddle.

If your accomodation comes from the feet, that means that you are taking power from your legs and using it to unload yourself from your saddle instead of using that power to turn the pedals.

If you are unloading yourself by using your hands, you will fatigue smaller muscle groups quickly and cause shoulder, neck and back pain. That's no fun.

Shifting in the saddle causes more shear of soft tissues. That causes more saddle discomfort.

Here's the solution. Saddles come in various shapes and sizes. If you are not comfortable, get fit to make sure that you are on the bike properly. If you are still having problems, it's time to shop different saddles.

Personally, I like the body geometry saddles but they aren't for everyone.
