*Spinning Bike*

[Twist]

Anybody have a spinning bike in their house? How do you make the seat more comfortable?

I am having my client get one and she is VERY overweight and that little seat just won't work out. Also any recommendations on how/where or what to buy?

Yeh bro I have....

Wear cycling shorts

2 suggestions :
1- gel seat cover - easily avail and cheap
2- If that wont cut it -depending on type of spin bike/how seat is mounted- it is likely that an exercise bike seat can be mounted in place of the regular saddle on the spin bike.

any seat you buy at a bike shop will fit.

She is 300lbs and about 5feet tall. They don't make shorts that big I don't think lol.

Makes sense ...hell 80% of the people taking a spin class at one gym I go to look like they are dressed for ther 14th stage of the Tour De France...surprised they dont bring their own seats with them. I cycle often ..one could say im even into cycling ...however I have never taken a spin class and if I did i sure as HELL wouldnt dress in team jerseys and wear a campagnolo cycling hat for christs sake.


Twist: If I remebr right I read about a bike called a "spin sport" that comes with a seat that would be more like what your client needs. Not that a seat change is a big deal at all - but figured id pass the info along.

I'm gonna try to find one used and cheap ($300) so one new under 1,000 is probably about right.
