The Elliptical Airbike (whom I call Aurora – less for the goddess of Morning than for the etymological Burn [in all honesty I thought it meant Big Wind – it’s an Airbike; it makes some big wind – but Burn now makes a good story] is a godsend to me during frigid Winter & rainy days & generally for building & maintaining my wind. She interacts with the rider almost exactly as an uphill route on fixed gear into the wind; the harder you pedal the more resistance she offers. It’s the kind of pleasurable punishment usually reserved for inhospitable weather rides.
Her saddle though is but poorly designed. It’s wide like an old-fashioned beach cruiser’s. I have no chamois capable of protecting previously untargeted areas of my butt & saddle sores are never any fun.
Since I share Aurora I can’t just put on one of my old familiarly targeting saddles.
Becoming an engineering problem.
