We wrote about the importance of proper positioning of the bicycle saddle for the comfort of riding. But no less important is the proper selection of its shape and hardness. A bicycle saddle is one of the three most important points of support during cycling (arms, pelvis, legs). It should maintain about 60% of body weight. Proper support of the pelvis relieves the wrists and, above all, enables the maximum and effective work of the legs, thanks to which we do not overload the muscles in the lumbar region, and the shoulder girdle is stabilized.

The stimulus to adjust the position of the saddle in the bicycle should be any pain and discomfort during the ride. The most common symptoms of an incorrectly selected saddle height are pain in the knees or lower back. During longer rides on a saddle that is set too high, pain may appear in the back of the knees and in the lower parts of the spine, while sitting on a saddle that is too low may cause pain in the front of the knees and ineffectiveness when pedaling.
