While you're riding your bike, not all of your weight is bearing down on the saddle, of course, because some of the strain is taken up by your opposing downward force on the pedals (and, to a far lesser degree, by your arms as you grip the handlebars).

Next time you're on your bike, try taking your feet off both the pedals at the same time. You can do this whilst coasting along or just GENTLY lean against a wall if stationary. You'll really feel the pressure of the saddle on your perineum (crotch) and may find it difficult to maintain this position for any length of time.

Now if this strain was diverted outwards to the inner sit bones and cheeks of your bottom, and away from your perineum, just imagine what a difference this would make...... the RIDO saddle does just this!
