Hard
Ass Bicycle Seats
 Beginner
cyclists often prefer a soft oversized bicycle saddle. On
the other hand, more experienced cyclists find that on
longer rides a harder saddle is more efficient as it allows
more power transmission to the pedals. It actually becomes
more comfortable. Tom Lynch from Western Statue &
Ornaments has created the "Hard Ass Saddle". The
Hard Ass saddle is made from the finest concrete, and
offers a rugged, spartan alternative that can help restore
the hardy pioneer spirit that made this great nation.
Thanks to its titanium rails it weighs only 1849 gms. The
saddle has a weight limit - it should not used by riders
weighing less than 200 lbs. The saddle costs a mere
$399.99. If you are interested talk to Tom, he can usually
be found in lane 3.
