“Numb Butt” Solutions
I’m trying not to laugh as i post this so here goes. Ok, we all know that if you ride a rigid cycle or have a habit of riding long distances on your bike, you WILL get a case of “baboon butt“. That nice tickle numb feeling on your back side and no matter what you do (stopping, stretching, re-adjusting, butt puckering, etc) your going to be receiving that gift once you hit a few hundred miles. Period, no argument. Well, some people have resorted to a bit more practical manner to address this and taking the cue’s from our non-motorized friends, the bicyclist. Seem a company called Greenknickers has a solution for riders. It’s their padded underwear that has removable padding in the “cheek section” (unlike regular biking shorts that leave that unsightly “bulge” in the butt section). The briefs and boxershorts are 100% organic (cotton, bamboo and hemp). You wear them like normal underwear, and when you go riding, place the padding inside. Once at your destination, remove the padding, and you’re “normal” again. GreenKnickers has quite a selection available in men’s and women’s styles. The cost is reasonable, about US $29 U.S. Think of all the pain you’ll save…and your butt will thank you too!

Funny! Being more of a dirt biker, I can’t say I have really experienced this. Dirt bikers normally stand around 80% of the time, so arm pump becomes more of an issue, than “numb butt”. Cool blog by the way!
