cloud 9 bike seat for 25 bucks - your butt will thank you!
If you have sinus problems & access to power running a small humidifier with essential oils (Rosemary, Eucalyptus, Peppermint) makes a huge difference.
If you're sensitive to noise (or camp with a sound camp on the esplanade) silicone ear plugs are amazing for sleeping. Instead of sticking them in your ear, you use them like putty to seal your ear canal. Way more comfortable, and lets you lay flat against a pillow. Usually they're reusable, on playa each pair tends to last one night.
For you ladies... a sheewee and a pee bottle is the way to go. No more late night trips to the portapots. I have this one because the open design lets me clean it with a baby wipe. Make sure you practice at home first.
Great work!
Here's a fat seat that you might be interested in. Some people (myself included) swear that this is the most comfortable bike seat out there. It's much easier on the groin, butt, and back as opposed to those narrow seats.

So in my adult life, I had never ridden a bike up until the point where I discovered an abandoned Citi Bike in a place it clearly didn't belong and was asked to hand it over to the NYPD. Since then I had been toying with the idea of a semi-commuter but wanted the capability of taking it on the subway easily as well as sneak it into the workplace without the fear of leaving it outside all day.
Settled on the Camp 20" 16 Speed Thunderbolt. Not many reviews on it, but the few I found were positive and I got a 'new' one off eBay for $300 delivered, whereas Amazon would cost me about $430. A few scuff marks and other cosmetic damage, but otherwise it appears to be in excellent condition. Had it delivered directly to the local bike shop to have them assemble/tune it and the mechanic was very impressed by it. I barely took it outside when I was approached by a bunch of people asking me about it too. Took a little trial and error for the folding/unfolding. They include a sheet which is completely unhelpful and have a couple of videos on YouTube at super low quality so it took an embarrassingly long time to figure it all out. I love how it uses a magnet to hold the bike in the folded position though.
I replaced the stock amber reflectors with white ones and removed the stock front and rear reflectors. Added usb-rechargeable rear red light and usb-rechargeable electronic horn/head light. Also added Taotronics cell phone holder, rear view mirror and nori lights.
Only rode it for about a mile today and it rides really well on the streets of NYC. Seat isn't bad but still a bit uncomfortable after a while. have a wider Sunlite Cloud-9 on order so we'll see how that goes.
The tricky part was adding the accessories in a way that the bike could still fold with them on. I actually ended up moving the headlight/horn to the handlebar post because i could only mount things on one side of the handlebar.
Wow. Alrighty then.
My seat looks like this:http://www.amazon.com/Sunlite-Cloud-9-Bicycle-Suspension-Tri-color/dp/B000H87PUI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1369947247&sr=8-2&keywords=padded+spring+bike+seat and I think it's very comfy, but I have only the Huffy standard 20" kids bike seat to compare it to (what I rode as a kid).
The Trail-a-bike seat looks like a standard bike seat. Maybe I should get him some padded biking shorts. Hmmm.
I touch the ground when I'm standing off the seat, but barely touching with the toes if I keep the bike straight up and sit on the seat. I'll keep the gears going downhill in mind, might just keep the front at 2 when I go near a red light, and upshift to 3 when I'm going 15-ish. I always feel like I'm a burden when I ride on the street going slower than the others. I live in a city with VERY few cyclists, so the drivers are far from used to it, so they just play along and drive really slow behind me.
I'm trying to diet to lose some weight while trying to get this hobby going, but I'm in medical school so I know how to eat for cardio hobbies. I'll probably start the 22 mile ride in a few weeks, I want to get warmed up a bit before going, or I'll fail horribly in the middle of Beverly Hills (half-way there).
As for bib, I'm REALLY not into wearing that while I'm at my weight (My weight is in my thighs and stomach), and I think I could go without pain from my seat as it's a wide soft seat, similar to this one, but if you still suggest getting a bib with that seat, I may get one and wear it under the shorts/shirt. Would that work well, or would it feel uncomfortable wearing it under clothing?
This would help because my ass is fat and it hurts to ride my bike.
I am only entering because you said to.....make sure someone else wins ;-)
