Bicycle saddle after implantation

[LGXDownunder]

I haven't tried to get on a bike since my implant (only 2 weeks ago) but my hunch is that I'm not going to need different seats. I have 3 different bikes, all with different seats, so we'll see how it goes in a couple more weeks. Everything else I've tried, like old jeans, etc, has worked just fine. With compression shorts, everything is going to be snug and up out of the way I hope.

I was cleared for cycling (bike riding) at about 6 weeks, but only started riding again last week, at 9 weeks, due to some unrelated leg issues. No problems at all. I used my existing saddle and didn't feel any discomfort related to the implant. Those bits weren't really under any pressure from the saddle. I had some saddle soreness on my sit bones because I hadn't ridden for 10 weeks, but that was all. I also wore cycling knicks that I've had for years. Small amount of cushioning from the chamois may have helped a little. My main concern was what happens if I have a mishap. Just a bit more paranoid than I was pre surgery.

I used this saddle way before implant and love it, especially after implant.

Based on discussion with my physician, I’ve given up cycling. I got back into cycling about 15 years ago but the last several years I went to indoors cycling and now just ride a recumbent 3 or 4 days a week. I tried a number of different saddles over the years but road bike saddles just aren’t designed for comfort.

I miss it because the machine I was riding had over 50 courses and riders from all over the world. I logged over 10,000 miles in about three and a half years and felt like I was my best shape in forty years. I did enjoy riding outdoors but road traffic has increased so much in my area it got to be a safety issue finding decent routes.

Sorry to hear that but it's good that you still enjoy riding a recumbent, which is still a form of cycling, and seems to have some keen enthusiasts.
Yes, saddle comfort on a road bike is relative, it's not like sitting in a car or an armchair.
I've also scaled back my riding in recent years due to dramatically increased traffic volume and poor driving (and aggressive/intolerant drivers).
Now I usually take my carefully planned local route through mostly quiet streets and back roads, with a nice section of road closed to motor vehicles.
