This is rather sobering though.

Good luck Sarah in the appeal. This is obviously why hate crime stats are so high. Thank you for continuing to speak out.

I’ve never actually tried a recumbent, itsall- there’re something I just can’t get my head round!

I am another who likes a slight downward tilt to my saddle dianaslasso. Takes the pressure off the bit that got the blister. Thanks for coming to my TMI TED talk Grin

Definitely no undies, boatyard -am wincing at the thought of the chafing 😳

A rickshaw with an engine might be nice in the summer

*@FlaviaAlbiaWantsLangClegBack you can change your name easily online - well, it's a start

FlaviaAlbiaWantsLangClegBack · 29/07/2020 10:32

boatyardblues think I'd prefer the engine tbh Grin

I want to be Olivia when I'm 103!

When I was a kid there was a weird old bloke in the village and rumour had it that he used to smell kids bike seats.

I suspect this was entirely fictional now.

I get on best on quite a thin saddle and not too much padding in the shorts, as that chafes the old undercarriage more. A big padded saddle might not be the best option. Definitely go to a bike shop and find a woman or non patronising man to help you with the fit.

Likewise. I have a (quite broad) man's saddle on my road bike. Needs to be wide enough that your sit bones end up on it, but no wider I would say, otherwise you start to run into problems with chafing (and also with knees, strangely, because in an effort to avoid the chafing I think you then alter hip and thigh angles in a way that does your knees no favours).

And also yes to experimenting with angle. Tilted up at the front is a disaster for me - flat works for me, though a friend swears by tilted very slightly downwards.

Blistered labia... oooh, I don't even want to think about that. (Rather than crossing legs, I am manspreading at this point just imagining it...)

I LOVE the idea of a feminist Mappamundi.

boatyardblues · 29/07/2020 08:23

Quite often, less is more

This was also covered on WH - underwear yes or no.

DialSquare · 29/07/2020 08:19

Last bike I rode was a purple tomahawk in the 70s. I've seen plenty of excuses on here not to change that any time soon!

Incidentally, if anyone is forming a punk band and need a name, there's a few ideas on here. Infected Flaps and Labial Blisters comes to mind!

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 29/07/2020 08:18

Or as I suggested above, get a recumbent Wink

Way comfier than any sort of saddle...

How to cycle without shredding your hoo ha is one of my favourite topics, so this thread really does just get better and better! I once got labial blisters on a multi day cycle. A very, very specific agony.

There’s so much you can do with the right combination of bike set up, seat angle, saddle types and choice of short. It’s a really interesting topic. Quite often, less is more, so I get on best on quite a thin saddle and not too much padding in the shorts, as that chafes the old undercarriage more. A big padded saddle might not be the best option.

Talking of flaps and bikes, woman's hour was painfully graphic yesterday...

@FlaviaAlbiaWantsLangClegBack

I need that bike, it's amazing! Though I'll also need some kind of miracle to level the hill I live on, or an engine...

Antibles it's fucking horrendous. That's kind of education actually needed in schools, a focus on how emotionally healthy relationships should be and how far from that porn is.

Or a fit young chap to pull you along rickshaw-style. You could admire his straining muscles and sinews as he pulls you up your hill.

I think you'd end up with a feminist Mappa Mundi

Ah, maybe you'll be wanting these : DragonDragon

DialSquare · 28/07/2020 22:56

"Just started"

Me too!. Although I did get distracted and have been down a rabbit hole of churro makers!

ErrolTheDragon · 28/07/2020 22:55

I'm part way through the jar lid thread - and slightly regretting that I didn't post earlier what I thought at the time which was 'well, i suppose it makes a change from driving the Cabbage Van'.

I've got some spare time tomorrow; I might make some sort of mind map/flow chart of the subjects discussed so far on this thread. It might be beautiful.

Said the actress to the bishop.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 28/07/2020 22:13

That is useful, I'm just about to look for a new bike and I want a lovely comfy saddle. I'm thinking something like this.

How about a recumbent?
