Here is what I bought for my seat. Mind you I have 300lbs(hence why I bought the bike). Zacro Bike Seat Cushion https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H71AZ36/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_F8WD3HCB5W0AEQMVARA2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I can easily ride 30+min rides now comfortably.

I just used the one I got from my outdoor bike. Only $10 I believe. Hope the link works

This is the one I use.

Everyone says not to use one, but I don't think the risks of harm apply to shorter rides like you are doing. I was in misery after five minutes without one. I wouldn't double up the padded shorts and the seat cover however. That did cause me some discomfort because I didn't realize I was sitting improperly.

Like this one?

I'm very new to Peloton and after my 2nd ride, my butt hurt so bad! I was worried it was going to make me hate it. I bought a gel seat cover and riding has been much better for my last 3 rides. There's still some soreness, but I think that's just because my butt's already bruised from my first 2 days of riding and I haven't given it enough of a break to heal.

This is the one I bought.

I got this one on Amazon. Works fine, easy to take on and off which I liked. My partner didn't use it so he couple easily remove it before his rides. https://www.amazon.com/Zacro-Cover-BS031-Extra-Bicycle/dp/B01H71AZ36/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=padded+bike+seat+covers&qid=1605141247&sprefix=padded+bike+seat&sr=8-3

I haven’t brought one to OTF (don’t really use the bike) but I do it for spinning class. You can get a fairly cheap one on amazon. I say go for it.

This is the one I have ($10) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H71AZ36/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_1oaZDbMEPMG9X

get a gel cushion for the seat. i take cycle classes 3x per week and started using one when i was pregnant and still use one today. just make sure it's the right shape for the seat! makes things waaaay more comfortable. i use this one.

It’s kind of dorky but this seat cover works for me

Downside is if you ride it in gym shorts it will stink forever. Maybe there’s a brand that uses better material to avoid that

Thank you for the response! Is there a specific dimension size for the seat replacement? For example, this seat https://www.amazon.com/Zacro-Gel-Bike-Seat-Resistant/dp/B01H71AZ36/ref=pd_lpo_468_bs_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=YXHD3BQSZEVH72TYEC3B seems like what I'm looking for. Will this work?

Another idea for a game I'd love to see is something similar to Zombies, Run! where you have a base and need to travel around your area to find supplies and survivors. Every so often, you'll be chased by zombies (that somehow run fast enough to catch up to you) and you have to lose them based on the cycling challenge level you're at. Everyone starts with slow zombies but the bigger your base gets then the harder zombies come out. Open world would be awesome so you have the sense of freedom to explore.

Upgrading the bike will let you drop items behind you to slow down the zombies. Wheel upgrades for different terrains, etc.

Hi!

Someone else posted this awhile back and I bought it before my bike came and so glad I did!

This is AWESOME

So I have the original bike. For my seat, just used a wrench to loosen the bolt under the seat and angle it down.

I've purchased this gel seat cover and a pair of padded bike shorts. Eventually, I swapped out the seat with this one.

Someone else shared this one on here. It's not bad. You will still have to get used to it but it's a huge improvement.

I'm a somewhat similar size (6'4" 290) and mine was killing me too. I ended up purchasing a padded seat (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H71AZ36/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and it has made a world of difference. I highly, highly recommend it.

Also make sure to tighten the pedals often with the allen wrench. For us bigger guys it comes loose quite often.

hey, i ordered this pronto after getting my bike. works great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H71AZ36/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I didn't need one, my wife did. This is the one we got, its very confortable.

This looks to be a popular one from Amazon! Some comments state it doesn’t feel like you’re sitting on a cloud but provides a big improvement.

My wife and I use this padded seat cover. $9.99 and works brilliantly. Zacro Gel Bike Seat Cover- BS031... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H71AZ36?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Like other rider have mentioned it probably your position on the saddle. But I’ve also very early on purchased a seat cover and padded shorts. I ride daily and it makes a difference during longer rides.

A few things here and I'm larger and I ride a road racing bicycle made by Giant, a huge bicycle manufacturer.

​

Besides the seat, I've bought and used an additional padding that goes on over the seat and it has a cover that ties down below and around the seat so it's a pad on top of the bicycle seat.

​

They are bike seat covers/cushions and there are tons of them on the market to purchase.

​

Then, one should buy riding shorts that have gel padding below one's privates.

​

Now, all of this helps but it doesn't eliminate all issues and one's privates are still there and they go somewhere.

​

I ride a lot, I rode 3,500 miles last year, though many ride much more I know. My issue is that my seat cover/cushion is good, not costly but I wear through it, like one gets holes in their jeans and underwear.

​

Guys I ride with ride like 7.500 miles per year and they use the same seat cushion and they've had the same cushion for the past 3 years and it's still perfect. At around 1,800 to 2,000 miles, the hole gets too big on the front of my cover/cushion due to my privates being there as I ride and move my legs up and down while peddling. So, I have to buy seat cushions a lot as one won't make it a season for me and if I ride a bit more than 3,500 miles this year I'll most likely go through two seat cushions this season.

​

Here is but one example of a seat cushion, with gel on Amazon.

​

https://www.amazon.com/Zacro-Cover-BS031-Extra-Bicycle/dp/B01H71AZ36/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_bs_img_1/135-4378151-3773154?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=1DY3P98H5E26KKN2DP6J

​

Mine will fray and then come apart and the front of my bicycle seat is then exposed as the cover is no longer over or covering my seat.

​

Our stuff, our privates are there and when one's legs go up and down, the privates still are on and move and rub against the top of the seat, though with the cushioned riding shorts and the cushion on top of the seat, it's manageable in terms of riding.

Default whatever came on the bike, but with this gel pad on it.

Very comfy.
