"I have to say I like it! By taking most of the body's weight on the ischial tuberosities (you'll know what thay are, I'm sure) pressure in the perineum is definitely relieved." Dr M.R, Point Pleasant, London "Following my experience with the Rido saddle I bought recently I’ve just put in a repeat order so that I can have one on my second bike – or for my wife to try on hers. So there might be yet another order to come! I now feel I can concentrate on pedalling and looking at the countryside and not shifting around on the saddle trying to reduce the ‘nut’ discomfort all the time. I had arthroscopy on both ankles in February ‘05 and used the bike as rehabilitation from the operation. My longest ride so far (this last weekend) was 55 miles and I was out the following day (no saddle soreness whatsoever!) to put in another 35. All in all I’m very pleased – it’s leg fitness not saddle pain that now determines how far I can go on the bike!! Target next year – the ‘End to End’ on my Rido saddle. D.M, Kenilworth, Warickshire "I commute to work which is about 20 miles (Dorset miles - which means lots of hills ! ) round trip on a road bike with drop handle bars. I can feel that the weight of my body is on the bones in my bum rather than on my crotch.... I don't seem to get numb bits any more! It's probably the best value for money product I have bought in a long while and I have recommended it to others." S.R, Blandford, Dorset "I've been running around preaching the praises of the Rido saddle. It's completly new and a little strange looking. This English saddle won some awards for innovative new product in England last year. I've had it about a month and it is a revolution for me. NO pain or discomfort in the perinium. I can't describe it as comfortable, becuase it's not some plush super-gel seat. In fact when most people touch the thing, they tell me there's no way it can be comfortable. There is no covering, no fabric, no stitching - it's a funky monococque plastic with a rubberized top. Sounds terrible but I will never ride anything else ever again. I also have a Brooks B17 that never got broken it - it broke me, a Bontrager race seat that's OK, a new Selle Italia Trans Am that is just plain sexy and light as a feather but uncomfortable after 2 hours; but none of these others can compare to the Rido." 'lokerola', Alexandria, Virginia, USA (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=87908) "I bought a Rido saddle a couple of months ago as I read they are a revolutionary design and thought it was worth a go for ten quid. It is by far the most comfortable saddle I have ever tried - I mean its in a different league altogether. I strongly suggest everyone try one." R.C, London "Having now built up to two hours on the bike I can confirm it really works! I am heavy for a cyclist at nearly 15 stone and this puts a lot of pressure on the saddle contact area. With my previous saddle I would be getting numb / pain after 45 – 60 mins, even when cycling regularly. Your Rido saddle really does appear to fit directly under the sitting bones and therefore, I assume, does not restrict blood flow to your nether regions. Definitely a winner!" P.J, Ilkley, West Yorkshire "I am entirely satisfied with the saddle which I received with no delay. Thanks for your professional service. I am currently doing both mountain biking and road tours and the odd local competition once in a while, and I am planning an 11 000 kilometre trip on The Silk Road with a small team of people - http://marcobike.populus.ch All the best to the Rido design team!" M.B, Rochefort sur Mer, France "I bought the (Rido) saddle for my touring bike, on the basis of an article in the CTC magazine reviewing a book on saddle design. You may be surprised but I was initially put off by the price. I could not believe a £15 saddle would be any good, but I decided to purchase one as I rate CTC recommendations and views. As for the saddle I would say it does not in initially feel comfortable but neither is it uncomfortable. For me the real issue is how it feels after several hours. I often cycle for 4 - 5 hours and rarely less than 3 hours. I have found the saddle to be very good. Even after the first ride I felt no after effects. I like the flexibility and lack of padding. It is large enough to allow small shifts of one's weight during a long ride - that is important and enables one to keep going without feeling any discomfort. The absence of any padding prevents it getting wet - a real bonus after a recent heavy downpour. I do not like padded saddles as the padding crushes after several hours and as invariably the design of a padded saddle only performs well when the padding works the results are often disappointing. As I have 10 bikes with 7 different saddles I can say that this saddle is the best! S.G, Brough, East Yorkshire "Saw the comment about Rido in the CTC mag. So far, I'm very pleased indeed with the Rido saddle. Done a couple of short rides and forgot I had a new saddle which must be good! Have recomended my wife tries it. If she likes it I will buy her one and maybe a couple for the tandem. The price is so reasonable I can afford to buy more than one!" C.H, The Wirral, Merseyside "The RIDO saddle has proved to be the most comfortable ride to date! I use my mountain bike to travel about 10 miles each day, in all weathers and on all type of surfaces from roads to fields and towpaths etc. Then at weekend the odd trips out for pleasure of about 16 to 30 miles." G.S, Blackburn, Lancashire "Thanks for the efficient service. Have tried it out on a ride today and it seems just the job!" I.W, High Trek Snowdonia, Gwynedd "Your saddle does exactly what it says on the tin! I was recommended by CTC. It improves the riding position and supports my weight on the hip bones. Well done!" Sir M.T, Enfield, Middlesex "To remind you, I bought one, tried it, and obtained two more. This is my 58th racing season, and for most of that time I used a saddle as a pivot and didn't need to put alot of weight on it... I've even ridden 12hr events on a Brooks Sprinter!! Whilst I still race on a fairly narrow saddle, for non-racing the load/area ratio was inadequate, and limited my range to about 30 miles," at a sitting". With the RIDO, I have yet to find my "sitting" range, but you can count me as a very satisfied customer indeed. M.D, Ludlow Cycling Club, Shropshire "I have used the Rido many times now since receiving it, doing on average 35-45 miles each ride and have found it superbly comfortable, indeed more comfortable than the Liberator saddle I had up until now been riding on. Many thanks for such a splendidly innovative design, and at a really exceptional price." A.T, Chelmsford, Essex "I found it surprisingly comfy, bit odd to look at but who cares if it does the job. I am female so wasn't sure if it would work for me but seems to be fine after 2 long sessions. Will definately keep using it!" J.C, Saffron Walden, Essex "I like a firm saddle; the Rido replaced a Brooks Team Pro. All in all I do like the saddle and consider it a comfortable, very reasonably priced saddle that should be tough and impervious to wet weather, features important to a commuter!" R.P, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA "I have moved from specialised's Y shape saddle to yours. I like the comfort of the Y shape and like the price. I commute in London approximately three days a week - a 20 mile daily round trip." R.W, Wimbledon, London "Just to let you know how impressed I was with your prompt service. The saddle arrived less than 48 hrs after I ordered it! The saddle is for myself - I now have 4 of your RIDO saddles, one of which is on loan to a fellow cyclist for a trial run. I am planning to ride a 300Km Audax ride on one of your saddles in early April...." C.B, Ludlow, Shropshire "The saddle is really working well. All my aches and pains are gone now and I'm back to enjoying cycling as it doesn't feel like a chore anymore." F.T, Norwich, Norfolk
