"RIDO R2 saddle"

HERE at CW we are fans of getting the best ergonomics you can on a bike to make sure that your miles are as pain-free and fun as possible, which is one of the reasons we are such big fans of the Specialized Body Geometry system.

But for post-op prostate patients or prostatitis sufferers a more radical version of saddle is required and the Rido2 should be just what they need. Like its predecessor, the Rido, the Rido2 has a somewhat odd look when compared to a ‘normal’ saddle but that’s because its shape has a specific purpose — the removal of pressure from the perineal area on to the sit bones. As you’d expect, the Rido2 has regular rails so can be fitted to any bike with a conventional seatpost.

The price is a very reasonable £29.99.
