<![CDATA[Biking advice]]>I've been advised by my physiotherapist to take a break from running, so in the mean time I want to get into biking. The only problem is I find bike seats super uncomfortable on my admittedly boney butt. Any tips on how I can alleviate this discomfort for long bike rides?

Find a seat that fits you and make sure you're bike is set-up properly. Visit a bike shop for help in body positioning. With proper fit and adjustments most of the weight should be right on your "sit-bones" as we call them and very little tissue or nerves are compressed. It's the big bums that have the most pain because their weight can't be carried by the sit-bones and is instead spread out over a lot of skin and muscle tissue leading to soreness.

Does it work well for long rides?

yes. You can also just experiment with adding some form of cushening. Maybe a foam or a small pillow  or a towel

I use a gel cushioned seat on my bike.
