Thank you! What a great product! I have a whole collection of bike seats that were suppose to eliminate pressure on the prostate. None worked well. As soon as I installed the Spiderflex seat I went for the first comfortable ride I have gone on in several years. I thought I was going to have to give up bike riding but the Spiderflex seat has changed that.

I've now owned my Spiderflex seat for 3 riding seasons and couldn't be happier with it. Its a wonderful product that I consider one of the best pieces of biking equipment I have ever bought and I've been riding bikes regularly for 60 years. Its a great seat!! When I first got it I was trying to describe how I could compare it to the standard type seats I have ridden with all these years and here's what I came up with - I'm sure you've heard this before but here is my version: On a 60 mile ride, I'm never really what I call comfy on this seat but then again, I'm not un-comfy either and for a bike seat that's saying A LOT!! With this seat, nothing gets numb or hurts and with a conventional bike, IT DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THAT!! Your product ROCKS! Keep up the good work and thanks again for a wonderful product!! Your product ROCKS!

My son-in-law received his Spiderflex seat last week after falling in love with mine. I guess you could say we are a couple of happy campers. I appreciate all your help!

Hi, I have purchased two of the Spiderflex saddles since September 2008 and couldn't enjoy riding my hybrids without them . I took one of them to Switzerland in August ' 09 and rode the "Challenge Route " with Bike Switzerland ( www.bikeswitzerland.com) across the country . The ride covered just under 600 km and about 3000 m vertical . What a great trip , one that all cyclists should add to their " must do " list . All the best in cycling!

Dear sirs, I want to thank you for your bike saddle. It is very comfortable and I can ride much longer than I used to. No pain! Thank you, nikos-greece!!! This is my bike!

I regularly ride 50-80 miles per week on my Spiderflex. I have yet to have a 'sore bum!' I have also ridden most of the Century rides, 100 miles, I've ridden on the Spiderflex and no problems. This saddle has essentially 'made' cycling for me. I've let countless other riders try-it-out on rides i've been on. Everyone is always impressed. Great product!

In early August I rode my bike 26 miles on one weekend, and 36 miles on another weekend. After that I thought I was going to have to give up biking because it really hurt my prostrate.
I did an internet search and found the Spiderflex bike seat. It looked the best to me of all the bicycle seats that I looked at. I no longer have any prostrate pain or problems. I have been riding about ten miles at a time with great results from the Spiderflex. Thank you for creating a comfortable bicycle seat!

After using Spiderflex for only a short time, I would never switch back to a conventional seat. I ride 12 miles every weekday and find Spiderflex the most sensible bicycle seat ever.
Glen
Absolutely the best seat I have tried. I have been commuting to work for 9 years, approx. distance is 20 miles per day. I have tried various other seats, nothing compares to the comfort of the Spiderflex. I will not give the Spiderflex up.

Installation of the saddle was a snap, I' ve got it in the "upright riding" position and find it very comfortable. The center relief on the saddle has eliminated any discomfort after a long ride and I find I can apply more power down to the pedals with the Spiderflex as opposed to my previous seat. The heat and humidity here in Florida creates a lot of sweat when riding but the increased air flow on the Spiderflex is great ! I think you have an excellent product, well made and designed. Thanks for making my rides more comfortable and efficient !!

I have always dreaded that first long ride at the beginning of the season. With the Spiderflex this is no longer a concern. Its wonderful

I just went on a 6 mile ride and I feel great. I will never use a "traditional" bicycle seat again.

It took three minor adjustments to alter the tilt angle, as you suggested, to meet my specific needs. I would not be without my Spiderflex. It is gratifying not to have to keep moving on the saddle to achieve comfort. It is there straight away, with no pressure whatsoever on sensitive areas!

I've tried every brand of hornless saddle available through the Internet, and the Spiderflex is by far the best. I use it on my Bottecchia road racers, Trek mountain bike, Birdy, Airnimal, Moulton New Series 531 and an exercycle.
Steve
I was on a ride up in Northern Minnesota at Lake Mille Lacs. Just wanted you to know that bike riding wouldn’t be possible without the Spiderflex seat!
This summer my wife and I have ridden over 2000 miles! Thanks for such a wonderful product and for such great customer support!

Excellent cycling and problem free - No horns!

The Spiderflex seat has allowed me to enjoy bicycle riding again. It's exactly what I was hoping it would be ... comfortable. If you love riding and can't due to conventional seats ... you can now. This seat is well worth the price.
Barry
I quit riding bicycles about 20 years ago due to chronic prostatitis problems caused by pressure from the horn on the bicycle saddle. I saw a newspaper article on problems caused by bike saddles, including prostatitis, and some seats that were available to deal with the problems. After I got the saddle, I bought an inexpensive 'hybrid' bicycle and started riding. No problems. I I rode 6 miles the first evening and then 13 and then 26 over the next few days. No problems. I began riding regularly and really enjoy it.

The Spiderflex saddle is a joy on my ErgoRacer! My butt feels great, and no numbness!

The Spiderflex arrived today and was installed post haste on the Brompton. Love at first sit! After I jumped on, it was like: WHOA! This is NICE! Without doubt, the Spiderflex is the most comfortable bike seat I've ever tried. I may be ordering a few more.
Jason
Thanks again!

I ordered and received a new Spiderflex saddle about a month ago. I just wanted to write and tell you that I’m amazed at the comfort. Literally every time I ride the bike I thank you for the product. It make me wonder why every commuter and rec rider isn’t on one of these saddles.
Curtis, Boeing Engineer
On Sat. I took the saddle for a spin on my new exercise bike. After a 30 min ride, guess what - NO NUMBNESS. As an Engineer, I like to say that this is a well engineered piece of equipment. Thanks for all your help (via e-mails). I will be very happy to recommend your saddle to all my bike friends. Thanks again.
Mike
Hello,thought I should compliment you on the bike saddle I bought from you last April.I had undergone prostate surgery and after a lifetimes cycling thought I would have to pack it in until I discovered your Spiderflex saddle which has been very successful.There is still no similar product available in thre U.K. and I am sure that there must be many sales opportunities available to fellow sufferers in this country if you could locate an appropriate agent over here!!. However my main reason for this missive is to endorse a most successful product-Many thanks.
Brian
The Spiderflex seats work great!! Shipping was top notch. Thanks from your neighbours to the south!
Richard
I just got back from a 30 mile ride on the Spiderflex seat and after some initial adjustments, am happy to say that I got home without the usual pain, swelling and numbness. I wanted to congratulate you all on a great product.

Being a big guy with a big soft seat (and no space between my legs for a seat) I was still expecting the Spiderflex would be too small (or something) to be comfortable. It looks smaller on the website pictures. And I was worried if it would be too soft or too hard, but it turned out just right. Sounds like porridge, yes?
I even tried adding a gel seat to it to see if it could improve to comfort. It didn't. It lost the cradleing effect which I'm feeling, accepting and coming to enjoy. I've had the Spiderflex for two days and already I've pedaled further (on a mag trainer) than I had in several years.
I didn't think I could get my damaged hips and knees to work this hard again. They seem to be doing ok as long as my weight is on the seat. I used to always be shifting awkwardly and tightening something due to the discomfort. As I mentioned, there is no space between my legs for a seat. The spiderflex seat lets me keep my legs together squared off above the pedals. Much more ergonomic. And with my weight on the seat I can already start to feel the comfortable circular motion of pedaling rather than the "stepping on it". Thanks for the great product.
