your butt will thank you at every jolt

'Manta saddle' is following us on twitter.. I was intrigued. A quick search and I was at the homepage of manta saddle.

"But why does my bike need a magic blue wing?" you may will ask. I did. And why are they calling it a saddle? Hmmmm.





Oh. My. Gosh.

'AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR FIXED, TURBO BIKES, SPINNING!'

Are you sure?

"A removal of stamina-sapping pounding on the seated area."(!)

Well I can only speak for myself but if I regularly felt like my 'seated area' was being 'pounded' I would have done something about it before now. Still, if you are new to seat area pounding maybe thin could be the answer.. I'm sceptical, but decide for yourself
