If you want to loose weight or if you just want to add exercise to your daily routine, biking is a great idea. If you are new to biking you may not know what type of bike to buy so you may take advice from the bicycle shop and get a high end bike only to be surprised later that the seat isn't very comfortable.
Potential Problems With The Wrong Seat
This isn't that uncommon as it is hard to find a one size fits all bike seat. If you really want a comfortable saddle, in more cases than not it is best to do a little research and buy one separately. If the seat doesn't fit your body correctly it can cause irritation and chaffing. Even if it doesn't cause these problems if it is too uncomfortable it will keep you from riding very often. How sad to buy a new bicycle and not want to ride it. Luckily just by getting a new bicycle seat you can easily address this.

Bicycle Seats For Different Situations
It's important that the bike saddle fit your anatomy, the style of bike and your style of riding. To find out if it fits your anatomy make sure your sit bones sit in the center of the pads in the large area of the bicycle seat. Your sit bones are the two bones you feel when you sit on a hard surface, they support your weight when sitting.
The bike seat you purchase should also fit your riding style and bike style, for example if you have a cruiser with the handlebars sitting above where you sit and you know you will only use it for leisurely rides you will need a different bicycle seat than if you had a racing bike and you were going for speed.
There are different bicycle seats for men and women too because they have different physiology. Women tend to have a wider pelvic structure than men so they need a slightly wider saddle.
When you find the right bike saddle you will definitely notice and appreciate the difference in your comfort an ability to ride.
