No matter why you're looking at a new bike seat, you've probably found that there are a lot of choices out there. All kinds of models and types are available, so you'll have the opportunity to find the seat that's best suited to you. However, the sheer volume of options can also get fairly confusing. Here's a look at some of the most common types of bicycle seat available on the market to help you decide which one will be best for you and your bike.
Race seats or road bike seats are very common on bikes intended for sports. They're not so much about comfort, but more about improving speed and riding efficiency. These light seats are usually pretty narrow, with hollow seat rails that take weight off the frame. Don't expect much padding here - these are seats that are all about a fast ride. They encourage leaning forward, which is expected on racing bikes. However, for many people, they're just plain uncomfortable.
Comfort seats are the obvious answer to this. They're wider and softer than a race seat, with relatively broad noses that won't cause as much discomfort in the pubic bone. These seats are usually pretty heavy, and are often sprung underneath to offer a smoother ride. They work best on bikes with handlebars that are higher than the seat, and for people who like an upright ride. They're not the right choice for speed, since they encourage a non-aerodynamic posture and are rather heavy. Choose this type of seat when you'll be commuting or running errands on your bike. These are the most common seat on classic or vintage bikes, and come in a number of different materials, including old fashioned leather.
Gel seats are a more modern alternative to the older style comfort seat. They come in almost all shapes and styles and are designed to reduce groin and sit bone irritation. They include a gel cushion inside that keeps you from developing discomfort. These can be a real lifesaver for people who like to ride over longer distances, when fatigue and strain can build up. Seats also come in versions designed for men or women, due to the different pelvis shapes between the sexes. Women's seats are usually shorter and wide, while men's are narrower and long.
This short guide to bicycle seats should help you narrow down the choices and decide which kind of seat will be best for you. Look at the kind of bike you ride and the kind of riding you prefer to do in order to decide which kind of seat is right for you.

Warburton Rail Trail - Yarra Valley
With summer here, now is the perfect time to escape Melbourne and enjoy what has affectionately become known as the 'Warby Trail'.
The Warburton trail starts at the northern end of the Lilydale Train Station car park with signposts marking the beginning of the trail. From here the only real point of confusion is when the trail meets the Maroondah Highway. The trail rejoins directly opposite and whilst a footbridge will be built over the highway in 2010, for now users have to scramble across the six lanes or head to the crossing north or south on the highway.
The first stage of the ride involves a very gradual 125m climb over 6.9km to Mt Evelyn. The fact that this is the most challenging aspect of the whole trail is testament to how perfect this ride is suited to even the most novice rider.
For those squirming at the idea of riding 40km in the saddle, a growing number of riders are choosing to begin their ride at Mt Evelyn where there is plenty of parking available and the attraction of the Cog Bike Cafe see http://www.dotheyarravalley.com.au for more information.
Most regular "Warby Trail" users agree, that the trail really comes into its own from Killara Station onwards. Its here along the Valley floor that the land and views start to open up around you. The gorgeous mountains of the Yarra Ranges National Park including Mount Donna Buang provide the perfect backdrop and motivation to keep you pushing the pedals all the way to Warburton.
If you have a bike then you should get on it and ride the Warburton Trail as soon as you can. Its a must do attraction in the Yarra Valley, its free, its beautiful, and its good for you. There's not too many things you can say that about nowadays!

Bike saddle fore aft position problem.?
Im adjusting my hybrid bike and im at adjusting the fore and aft position for the saddle. my problem is that i put my saddle all the way forward until the end the rails and my knees are still behind the pedals when i put the crank arms parallel with the grounds. what can i do to fix this. do i need a different part or something? please help.
Most seatposts have a small amount of setback. This is a small extension to the rear of the post itself. If you take your saddle off, rotate the post 1/2 turn (180 degrees), and then reattach the saddle you can get a small amount of extra forward extension.
If this fails, you might just have too large a frame. Try going to a bike shop for a better fitting. Sometimes they have some adapters that might help. It depends on the shop as to what they have, so try a couple first.
Best of luck and happy trails!
A Tour de Fromage through Wisconsin's cheese country
Wisconsin provides me with ample opportunity to indulge in two of my favorite pursuits: riding a bike and eating cheese. Sometimes simultaneously. No part of Wisconsin has a higher concentration of cheesemakers than Green County, the perfect place to hit the road — better yet, bike trail — for a tasty Tour de Fromage.
Thanks for visiting!
