YES! After two weeks of training, tonight I survived 50 minutes on my bike without the OUCH factor. Here are the keys to my pain-free ride:







1. BIG padded seat

2. Pearl Izumi bike shorts

3. No underwear. Okay, one last bike question. Fellow bikers, Marly K, eamcdona, lmccat, MeagB, jessicarabbit25, and cam1982, help me out again! Is it way too dorky to get a side view mirror on my bike?

    I put a side mirror on my bike. I ride on the roads, and I want to see who is coming up behind me. Its more a matter of safety for me then being cool. Do what makes you comfortable.
