Hi!   Just wanted to say how much I love my Spiderflex saddles. I put your

seats on all of my bikes and always speak highly of them to curious

onlookers. I have convinced a few people that this is the seat they need. I

have toured across the United States a few times and they have performed

flawlessly.   Thank you so much

Tom

This saddle has been a great addition to my Giant LaFree e-bike. The OEM saddle was actually more comfortable than I expected, but the SPIDERFLEX is worlds better. The sit-bone cutaways and greater width result in dramatically improved weigh distribution and comfort, abetted substantially by the absence of anything in the perineal area. After riding it for a few minutes you think “why aren’t all bike saddles made this way?”.

Installation was easy. The SPIDERFLEX is the same height, from rails to seat top, as the OEM saddle, so the seat post stayed put. Before removing the OEM saddle I measured  from the steering post to the sit bone area, since that dimension was about right, then mounted the SPIDERFLEX at the same distance, tipped to level the top for an upright riding posture. A minor adjustment or two to the seat and handlebars have resulted in a very comfortable long-ride cockpit.

My purchase was the result of a LOT of online research. I wondered whether I’d miss the nose of a standard saddle in terms of bike control, but that has proven to be a complete non-issue. No need to adapt, no real awareness of its absence from the get-go. Perhaps if I owned a unicycle or insisted an riding no-handed I’d feel otherwise, but neither of those is likely. On the other hand, the SPIDERFLEX is fully four inches shorter, front to back, than the OEM saddle, which greatly enhances mounting and dismounting, and those curved rails don’t snag anything coming or going. That’s a vast improvement over its predecessor. And living as I do in southwest Florida, the added ventilation in the middle is much appreciated!

Delivery service was first-rate. I ordered Monday afternoon and my SPIDERFLEX rocketed from the bustling heart of Pembina, ND, to my home on the Gulf Coast by the following Saturday. I’m writing this after about 45 days under my belt, or butt, and I couldn’t be more pleased.

I use my 2 SpiderFlex, this will be my third for a third bicycle. My first one, I think I am using since 12 years ago. I use them on an electric MTB, a road bike and on that cargo bike on the picture. Thank you!!

Thank you for such quick service in getting my SpiderFlex to me. I'm very happy with the product. I've been using Spongy Wonder for a long time, but what makes your product so great, at least for me, is the suspension unit. I think you have a fantastic product and wonder if you're marketing it to Zizzo folding bike riders like myself. Here's why: Zizzo bikes have no suspension and their seat post is proprietary. That means no aftermarket suspension seat post will fit a Zizzo. So if one needs a noseless saddle, I think SpiderFlex is the only option.       I could not ride my Zizzo bike without suspension, so your product has made the difference between keeping the bike or not.

I've had a positive experience with your company. Thank you.    Christopher R.

Hi Spiderflex!   I'm in my early 50's and have been a serious cyclist all of my life. Last year I really had perineal problems and it was killing me that I couldn't ride (I mean big-time depressing)!  I did some serious internet searches and bought several brands of Tri saddles and then I came upon the Spiderflex.  It has changed my life and I wish I'd had it when I did some serious cross-country treks in my youth.  I'm proselytizing the benefits to my local bike shops (San Fran Bay Area), but I'm amazed at their reticence.  I own 3 Spiderflex seats now and am slowly getting friends and family bought in.    I may buy one for my local bike store just so they can lend it out for sampling, or put it on their test bikes occasionally.  Thanks for making this...  Tell me more about your company and any way I can help.

I love my SpiderFlex. My 1^st seat was purchased June 16, 2005 and it is still in use on my Carbo-X and I just recently ordered another SpiderFlex for my Trek Verve!

It all started in 1961, I suppose. Small farm in rural Maine. Our driveway was 800 m. That's when I got my first bike, a 1961 Murray Flightliner Tank Twin-Tube with Dual Headlights, for my birthday. They say you never forget your first ride. Sometimes I'd ride that single-speed bike to town 25 km away, and every year I would have to "build up" to climbing Norton Hill without stopping, a 2 km climb with a 10% grade. By my early teens, to relieve discomfort, I would find myself taking "standing in the pedals" breaks to get out of the saddle on rides longer than 10K.

Though it was clear in my youth that bike maintenance was important to the quality of my ride, it was in my twenties and thirties (70s and 80s) that I began to realize that a traditional bike seat was a big problem for me. I began testing out all sorts of "new" "ergonomic" bike seats, but none lasted more than two years. I used to do weekly 50K rides with coworkers on Fridays, and halfway home I'd be in real discomfort.

But what about all those fancy biking shorts? Aren't they supposed to take care of this? I have not found one that is comfortable. I went through plenty, looking for a solution to the numbness. Maybe they are good for some, but not for me. Tough choice for me, because for me, health outranks the need to ride. And I love to ride, road or off-road.

By the early 2000s, after all the money that I had spent on bicycle seats and biking shorts, I was of two minds: no one really had the solution I was looking for, or maybe it was time to gamble on the high cost options. I started researching options, and tried some that were about half the price of a Spiderflex bike seat. None lasted a season. Finally, in 2009, I decided that it was worth trying the Spiderflex bike seat. I intended to take advantage of the 30-day trial, and ship it back if it didn't meet my expectations.

Never happened. Oh, it does take time to adjust and get used to, but the effort for me is minuscule compared to the years of enjoyment in the saddle. My favorite road riding shorts these days are prAna Mojo, and at the end of a 160K, I feel like I just got up from the couch. This is not just a figure of speech---I mean I am not in pain...tired, yes, but not in pain. Huge difference. I road bike 4000 km a year, and regularly do day-long mountain bike rides in the White Mountains.

After three years of testing on my 2001 Klein Quantum, I popped for a Spiderflex bike saddle for the 2002 Giant XtC II. It took some time to adjust to riding a full-suspension mountain bike with a saddle with no nose. I wear sturdier shorts in the mountains, but the end result is the same.

I found that as I "aged" (like a good wine?), I began to lose padding in my buttocks. The seat became less comfortable, I slid around in the seat more, and I found myself wondering if the Spiderflex bike seat would take me in to the future. After all, I have decades of cycling left to enjoy. I discovered that if I tilted the seat up more in the front than I had been used to, it works fine. I'm not the first to note this about aging and bike seats, so I hope the note is useful to other aging riders. It looks like I will be able to literally ride until I drop!

Kind regards,

~R~

I have a Spiderflex seat and love it!  I am now riding in events and longer rides.

Thank you!   Jim

After a time off the bike, this week I finally got back to riding ... a pleasurable experience ... thanks to the Spiderflex seat! Prior to purchasing a Spiderflex I had tried other brands of  hornless saddles. Several were OK - certainly they were all an improvement over a traditional type saddle - BUT, definitely the most suitable to me is the Spiderflex seat. An outstanding product ! A happy Aussie.

Hello!  I've been riding a Spriderflex saddle for about a year now.  I must say, it is the BEST saddle I have ever had, butt-down!

David

I bought your seat and i want you to know it is by far and away the best i've ever tried. i've tried other 'ergo' bike seats. it's way better hands down. one of the reasons is not only the general seat and elastomer suspension but the VERY long rails. the long rails allow the seat to be adjusted to a MUCH greater variation of angles and positions fore-and-aft . it just kind of amazes me how much better your seat is. feel free to attribute this praise and quote me. i'm 35, a life long cycslist and i'm primarily an urban rider in manhattan but i'm very aggressive and i've also been a bike messenger, done long distance riding, done some moderate single track mountain riding. this seat is the best. period. beats any leather style brooks or spring saddles by a mile. both in comfort adjustability and all around performance.

Ive welded a rack onto my specialized hardrock frame ( partially stripped and repainted) 3speed internal hub.... and i brazed a seat tube to be swept back so the riding style is choopper or 'crank forward' . i keep my bike lights on the back elastomer facing back...

Having tried numerous other 'comfort' seats the Spiderflex is certainly an exceptionally well designed product!

This Spiderflex seat is simply awesome. I dunno why people make a big deal about seats without horns, I'm smashin out the rides with or without a horn and hit 35 mph with plenty of stability.  Must be a conspiracy to give everyone erectile dysfunction!  I thought the bouncy spring was overkill at first and wouldn't be useful but I find myself loving that it's there at high speeds with these tiny race tires, don't even feel the bumps.  I spent a lot of time riding around with an Allen wrench adjusting to get the stance perfect and can't imagine ever going back to the penis destroyer now!  Thank you for a great product!

TP

Received the Spiderflex bike seat today. High quality construction and appearance. Easy install and amazing improvement in seat comfort from a traditional seat. No control issues. New level of comfort will increase my riding miles and resulting fitness. Great product. Thank you!

Brian Hummel

I have purchased two of your Spiderflex bicycle seats. I have one on my hybrid Trek 7300 bicycle(Purchased about 6 years ago) and one on my Kona Mountain bicycle(Purchased about 2 years ago).

Over the years I have loved bicycling but never seemed to find seats that work for me. I always used the ergonomic seats such as Terry Liberator. They were better than standard bicycle seats, but nowhere as good as the Spiderflex bike seats.

I have nothing but good things to say about these seats. They just seem to work for me. I am looking to purchase another one for a new road bicycle.

Henry -Tour d'Afrique

I just wanted to let you know that I have been using the Spiderflex saddle now for six weeks on the Trans-Oceania Cycling

tour from Medan, Sumatra, Indonesia to Sydney Australia - you can follow it on our website at Tourdafrique.com

We are now about half way through and I wanted to let you know that the saddle has been great and I am cycling on average 70 miles a day with on average about 5,000 feet per day of climbing.

The tour so far has been probably the toughest of the 7Epics that Tour d'Afrique organizes, but the Spiderflex saddle has allowed me to cycle without pain or even discomfort.

I had urologic surgery recently, and my doctor advised me never to ride a regular bike seat again. I found out about the Spiderflex seat and tried it. I have over 50 miles on it, and it works fine. My surgical area is protected and my urologist approves! The Spiderflex seat is surprisingly comfortable the first time out, and gets even better with minor tweaking. I'm very pleased to be riding again! Steve Cohen MD

Forum comment on Spiderflex Bike Saddle

Three years ago, I started cycling in earnest and increased my saddle time substantially. After about 6 months of near-daily cycling, I came down with a (thankfully brief) case of prostatitis - believe me when I tell you that this is no fun. Determined to do what I could to avoid this, I switched to a Spiderflex saddle. It definitely took some getting used to and adjustment (the first few weeks were rough), but after two years of regular use, it's quite comfortable. In fact, I just finished using it on a weeklong, 350-mile bike tour. I have no problems with control of the bike, even with loaded panniers; on smooth roads I can still ride hands-free. Most importantly, since I switched to the Spiderflex, no more issues "down under" - no numbness, pain, nothing.

Daniel (London, UK)

This will be my second Spiderflex bike seat; the first one, that I bought in 2012, is excellent!   I have just bought a Brompton bike and hope to use the new Spiderflex seat on it.

Ray (UK)

Photos show a 2013 Trek FX 7.5 Hybrid with a Spiderflex saddle mounted on a Thudbuster suspension seat post.

After reading an article some time ago about the health problems associated with cycling (pressure on the perineum which can cause damage to the blood vessels and nerve endings to the genitals), I made a point of staying clear of cycling as it didn't make sense to me to take such risks with ones health.  However, over time, I realised that there were ways of avoiding these problems and these boil down to either using a recumbent bike or alternatively, using a noseless saddle.  I'm not enough of an extrovert to ride a recumbent, so a noseless saddle was the way to go!   After some research, I settled on the Spiderflex saddle as it has no point of contact with the perineum, it is  comfortably padded and it even has an additional shock for added protection from jolts and bumps.

When I received it, I was immediately impressed with the function of the Spiderflex seat and I now cycle very comfortably with it without the worry that I am doing some sort of fearful damage to my nether regions.  I use it to cycle to work and for some leisure cycling.  It has a different feel to a traditional saddle and you may take some time to adjust to sitting directly on your sitbones if you are used to a traditional saddle.

I would also add that the after sales care I received from Doug at Spiderflex Bike Components was second to none and you can rest assured that you are dealing with a company that provides an excellent service.

George

It took a little bit of getting used to, but now I would never go back to a regular bike seat again.

As soon as my friends and family see my Spiderflex bike seat, they have to take my bike for a ride. When they come back, they always ask me where I got it because they want one too!

Thanks again,

All the best.

Hamish

Hi, What a cool refreshing saddle; So easier to get up and off the seat. Take my tip. Never lend your spiderflex saddle!

Tim

Just back from a delayed first ride for 2013…over 1.5 hours of riding the streets of Winnipeg with no sore butt! Could never have done it on any other saddle.

Thanks for another great season of riding.

In 2003, I had a bout with prostatitis that lasted for 18 months. Well, actually, it's never completely gone away (the symptoms rears up every now and then), but I can manage it with a combination of diet, supplements and pain meds when it gets really out of hand. For the first year I had to use a "hornless" saddle. I found the Spiderflex to be a godsend as it allowed me to really get into shape, and it caused no pain whatsoever.

I incurred a chronic perineal injury years ago from cycling. I gave up the sport for a few years but eventually returned after discovering the spiderflex saddle which puts no pressure on the perineal region. I tried other saddles but the spiderflex was the best.

No-nose seats are EXCELLENT

My significant other and I bought Spider-flex no-nose bike seats last year. http://www.spiderflex.com/

This is what I experienced: It took a while to get it adjusted properly, but once adjusted, was extremely comfortable. No pressure on sensitive areas!! Yes, it feels different compared to a typical bike seat, but just takes a little getting used to.

On my first ride of the season, I have no discomfort, no feeling like I have to build up a "callous" in order to ride comfortably for a distance.

My partner has prostate cancer and was not able to bicycle AT ALL even with a severely centre cut bike seat .. he uses this new seat with great comfort as well and no pain!

Harv M. and Clarence C., New York/New Jersey, USA

We are captains of a team of tour marshals that provide on route support for bike tours held by various charitable organizations and cycling advocacy groups here in the NY/NJ metro area including the American Cancer Society, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Transportation Alternatives, Bike NY and the Habitat for Humanity, just to name a few. We volunteer on 6 to 7 tours a year ranging from 25 to 42 miles in length. We often serve as the Sweep or Huffy Team, which rides behind the very last of the participants providing mechanical support and encouragement so they can complete their ride commitments to their sponsors. Our responsibilities often keep us in the saddle for 5-7 hours on each tour and the Spiderflex saddle makes a huge difference in whether we can even walk or sit the next day!

The quality and durability of the materials from the stainless steel rails to the waterproof pads are important to us because we ride rain or shine. The built-in shock absorber is also a plus to help smooth rough city streets, especially on road bikes which generally have no suspension.

Many of us have tried other traditionally shaped 'ergonomic' saddles with channels, depressions, gel inserts, and/or cut-outs, but none of them totally eliminate pain and numbness in the crotch like the dual pads of the Spiderflex. Additionally, we no longer have to wear bulky padded bike shorts. It gives us the freedom to wear more comfortable athletic shorts or utilitarian cargo shorts to hold all the tools and spare tubes we have to carry. Some of us have been using a Spiderflex for over 6 years; half our team has them and the other half wants them! Thanks for a great product!

Here's a picture of our team and a some of our Spiderflex equipped rides at the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's 2011 NYC Tour.

Jerry

Living in Florida is great because we are blessed with a long riding season. So many places to ride, you want to be able to go for miles. But a "substandard" seat doesn't allow that.

Then I found spiderflex. I've been so happy to have a spiderflex seat on my townie sport 105. It is worth every cent! The quality and design of this seat far surpasses those of the "hornless" kind!

You definitely get what you pay for. The stainless steel rails are of a bigger diameter than any seat. You don't have to worry about sweat deteriorating the pads away either. The spring shock is carefree of it going out. It's rigid enough to still have reflex with me weighing in at 250! The steel rails within the seat pads will also flex as you ride.

This seat doesn't rock back and forth like the competitions. My two greatest reasons besides the quality is, your manly parts …will not go numb, burn or ache!!!! And your tailbone pain is done. Simply purchasing this seat for the health of it says it all.

Gary, CA

I have at least 13 bicycles and will probably buy more in the future. That's why I am always ordering your Spiderflex seats. Here are some pictures of my bikes equipped with a Spiderflex seat. One bicycle is a Specialized Globe Vienna, and the other bike is a Worksman.

I will send more in the future of my other bikes with the Spiderflex seats.

Sgt. Allen Cain, Chicago Police Department

Quality and Comfort… I am a Sergeant with the Chicago Police Department, and have been assigned to the bicycle patrol team for four years. When I first took the team over I was using a standard mountain bike saddle.

After several painful days of uncomfortable riding, I decided to try the Spiderflex Saddle, and boy I am glad I did! The pain immediately ceased since there were not the same points of pressure as with the traditional seat. I will never go back to that regular saddle again. After four years, my seat looks just like the day I bought it, a quality product.

This is a great item, especially for someone who spends a large amount of time on their bike.

We have a Burley Rumba tandem, and Norah loves her Spiderflex seat that we ordered from you last fall. It provides her with a comfortable saddle she might not be riding otherwise.

Here is a picture of us at the Northwest Tandem Rally in Spokane, WA taken Jul 4, 2011.

We have just returned from the Portland Bridge Pedal held on Sunday Aug 14 – over 18,000 cyclists riding over up to 9 of Portland’s bridges to raise money for their hospitals.

Alfredo

I gotta tell you I first saw the Spiderflex seat on a bike parked as I waited in line for my "Detroiter 2010" registration tickets last fall and it immediately caught my eye.

I was using a product called "the seat", but the Spiderflex has provided a much better ride. I did a search and found the Spiderflex this spring and installed it on a Giant Sedona DS.

When I install my new seat, I'll have my wife take a few pics with me and the bike(s) and send them along for your review!

In the meantime here's a few pics. Thanks again!

Lloyd

I had a couple of questions about my new Spiderflex saddle and you answered them and asked me how the saddle was treating me, all of this about a month or more ago. I have not forgotten. The answer is really great. I love it. I put a new set of 4" riser bars on my Trek one speed and that did it. Higher was the answer, the original bar was straight.

That is the only change I made and it solved all my problems. Thanks again.

You are a good guy with a good product. I might buy another one for my mountain bike in NC but will have to raise that bar too.

Tim S. - Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

No pain I can ride again… Having just purchased a semi-recumbent, which solved my shoulder and wrist dis-comfort, I was determined to locate a better seat. After a short search on the “net” I found the Spiderflex. In a very short time the seat arrived and after some minor adjustments I was riding without the numbness associated with my previous seat. A “bent” rider sits in a reclined position so the seat needed to be moved to the proper angle...something that is easily done using just one wrench and a couple of test rides.

Thanks Spiderflex for taking away the pain.

Gary from California

I have a KHS Latte 20 inch folding bike that i had installed a Spiderflex seat on. It was adjusted so good I could hardly tell I was sitting on a bicycle seat at all. This seat was so comfortable it seemed like it was not even there.

Here is also a picture of my Sun bike with the Spiderflex bike seat that I took yesterday at the beach where I live. I have other bikes equipped with Spiderflex seats. Most all my bikes will be equipped with a Thudbuster Seatpost and a Spiderflex Seat. Spiderflex seats are safer for riding - they allow for easier and quicker dismounting from the bike in my opinion. Plus the seats are the most comfortable that i have used up to this point. I have a sciatic nerve problem in my left hip and this set-up allows me to continue riding my bicycles. I am 62 years old. I want to ride till I drop over dead.

Adrian

While this is an unusual looking bike seat, it has been for me, after 10,000 kilometers, the most comfortable seat I've ever owned. It never fails to elicit comments from cyclists and passers-by. Especially for those of the male persuasion, the fact that this seat has no "horn" can make riding a bike a much more pleasant and comfortable endeavor. This seat is hefty. But perhaps that is why I've put so many miles on this baby and it is still going strong.

Like many cyclists, finding a comfortable seat is a challenge and like someone told me last year "You sit on anything for 8 hours and it's going to hurt!". Although sitting on the Spiderflex has been the most agreeable sitting arrangement I have ever found for biking. When your veins, tubes and nerves shouldn't be squished, then a hornless bike seat looks very appealing.

I'll admit that it took some time to break in the Spiderflex, and once I did, it works like a charm and keeps all the "Special parts" undisturbed.

Dianna

My husband and I began our search for hornless bike saddles when my husband's prostate PSA level shot up after several months of extensive bike riding. We ordered saddles from 3 different companies to try out. The Spiderflex won hands down for comfort and ease of setup.

We returned the other 2, and got Spiderflexes for all of our bikes - a Specialized Roubaix (touring), a Specialized Ariel Sport (hybrid), and an vintage 1985 Schwinn exercise bike.

On the exercise bike, the Spiderflex was the only one of the different saddles I tried where I could sit absolutely upright on the exercise bike without leaning on the handles, which is how I ride while reading. On all 3 bikes, only minor adjustment was needed to get the position right.

The Spiderflex is super-comfortable and remains so throughout a typical 2-hour ride. And as a post-script, after about a month on the Spiderflex, my husband's PSA was back down to normal. Thanks so much for creating this wonderful bike seat!

Mark

The Spiderflex seat is the only design on the market that eliminates the problems of pain and numbness I felt after only a short time of riding.

Now I routinely ride many miles in complete comfort.

Mike

I've been using the Spiderflex bike seat for over 5 years and wouldn't ride with any other seat...!

I weigh 300 lbs and have never found a seat that is more comfortable.

Tom

I wanted to thank you for inventing your Spiderflex bicycle seat! I'm a fireman who got hurt on a emergency call and have had three knee surgeries over the last year and a half.

The last surgery was a partial knee replacement after which the doctor's advised that my main source of exercise going forward should be bicycling.

I purchased a bicycle trainer and got to work. My legs/knee held out fine but I had groin pain and numbness after exercising on my bike.

So I obtained your Spiderflex seat and I'm up to an hour a day bicycling with no numbness or groin pain.

I recommend your seat to anyone who rides a bike, it's that good!

Bob

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.

Ron

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.

It's 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!!!

Fred & Dave

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!

James - Vancouver Island BC

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!

A Sore A**

From http://bikewritersblog.blogspot.com/

On the MS bike tour there is a team called "So and So and the Sore Arses" and after winter cycling on the crappy seat that came with my winter bike, I feel I could join that particular team. Within minutes of riding, I could feel pressure not on my man bits but a piece of anatomy my daughter tells me is the coccyx.

Trusty Spiderflex after 10,000 miles    -    Another view of a great seat

I vowed that before my commute this morning, I would install my trusty Spiderflex seat that has easily 10,000 miles of comfortable riding under its belt (so to speak).

Nikos

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!

Greg

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!

Robert

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!

Grant

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.

Tim

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 !!

Matthew, age 13

"This is the most comfortable bike seat I have ever used."

Doug

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.

Steve

I just went on a 6 mile ride and I feel great.

I will never use a "traditional" bicycle seat again.

Tony

Santiago de la Ribera, Spain

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!

Robert

Kyoto, Japan

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.

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!

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.
