There's various saddles on the linked site. I have an exercise bike, but am unable to use it because the seat is uncomfy and the handle bars are in the wrong position. There needs to be a handle bar that pulls back like ape hangars

I realise that many of the ladies here can not use a bike , for one reason or another , BUT for those who still can , even if it is an exercise bike , please read below

A saddle is one of the most important components on your bike. A saddle must suit riding style, your body position and weight. For women, saddles are sometimes seen as torture and highly uncomfortable but don't panic - help is at hand!!!

Ladies Saddles
For some time now there have been many saddles designed specifically for women. The design of a women's saddle is different to a man's in several ways - it's not just about padding! Manufacturers are often getting it wrong when it comes to making saddles for women....

Saddles just for Women
The female pelvis is very different to a man's. Ladies saddles take this bone structure different into account and are wider at the back and shorter from one end to the other. Not: most bikes come with getnts saddles fitted so if you are a lady but buying a mans bike - check the saddle!!!

The thing is due to CTD cycling for any time / distance may cause more pain etc , and by having a "ladies " saddle this may make things a lot easier xx
