How the seat for longer periods? I plan to work at my desk and ride for several hours per day. I have an Exerpeutic now and the seat is excruciating.

That sounds like a long time to be sitting on any exercise bike seat. It has been fine for me, in my 1 1/2 hour sessions.

Same as regular bike I suggest padding the seat if u plan to ride a long time. U can buy padded seats.

You're going to need a cushion or a pillow if you're going to be in the sea for 2 hours, it's not that comfortable.

It is better than most regular bike seats I've tried but my tailbone is still throbbing days later!! It doesn't bother me enough to stop though and I LOVE my daily rides which are usually 1-2 hours.

Hi Jessica, this chair should be comfortable for 8+ hours a day, but if you have back issues or need additional support we would recommend looking for a chair that has adjustable lumbar support. This might be a better option for more back support because it has more ergonomic adjustabilities: http://www.247workspaceexpress.com/RTA-9105-ERGONOMIC-OFFICE-CHAIR/dp/B00CEZ7Q3I Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any more questions!

I've had this chair for about one solid year and use it at work while behind a desk for 9 hours and I love it. The chair breathes very well! This is an awesome chair! :)

This is a great seat! I have one on all 3 bicycles and one tandem. With this seat you sit on your sit bones and nothing else. There is no pressure anywhere there shouldn't be! I got it because with a regular seat my entire groin area went numb and hurt very bad. I no longer have that problem. and I ride a lot of miles every week! I would suggest you talk to your doctor about it. He would know better about things like that. All I know is I will never go back to a regular seat.

Hello I have been using it for awhile and it is not very comfortable for long rides. It is better to but the one that doesn't have that depression in the center. I would recommend the Bel that is made with gel and covers the entire seat

I'm a writer, so I spend a lot of time sitting. In this regard, the g - seat ultra has proven to be a worthwhile investment. Sadly, I've never had an occasion to travel with it. Sorry.

May not be best for long sitting. Seat is deep, I'm 6'2 so sitting well back in the seat works for me. Back is very upright.

It didnt roll when I sat, but was very uncomfortable and stiff. I also ordered the Trainers Choice brand from Amazon and love it!!!. Hope this helps. Let me know if you would like to know anything else.

Rock... well its not a rocking chair. Its built well over all, no backward motion in it if that is the question. As for extended use - I added another seat cushion, though for most that probably wouldn't be necessary. The extra cushion also adds a bit more height to the chair as I like to keep my workstation KB and Mouse platform a bit higher than the work table. Ive sat in it for hours a a time with no adverse issues... as I said in my rating description... love the chair! if you get one that doesn't have the seat back locking problem - I think most anyone would be very pleased ~~

Adjusting the seat location is difficult. I asked my grandsonl to make the adjustment for me, which he did, but I still need a back cushion. The bike is not as efficient as I might like, but it works well. Different programs are simply too vague to be helpful. I just ride while watching the tv. I also use a treadmill and a shiatsu massage chair and trade off one device at a time. Dorothy

I find I sit in the chair to get work done and then move on to other things. An hour would be a typical long session and four hours a maximum. I have never had an issue with manhood pain, discomfort or for that matter any difficulty at all. For me it has not been in any way a problem. It does contribute to my sitting in a more upright position for better posture....which I think is beginning to carry over a bit into other parts of my day.I hope that helps

Seat padding is fine. Back support leans back a bit and I find myself unconsciously tilting my head forward. 8 hours, perhaps?

I'm 5"4" and I was hitting my knees under my computer desk. I pulled my keyboard and mouse back to the edge of the desk top and pedal away. It's hard to use the keyboard or write while you are using it though. Mine has held up really well and although not a cardio workout by any means, keeps the legs moving!

The distance between the seat and the knee rest does not change as you elevate the seat---only the height of the seat changes. Also, understand that you will need additional padding under knees if you raise seat to max height, because primarily of weight placed on knees. I don't think now that this is a long term solution for sitting at a desk or computer station because it takes some getting used to, and is a little uncomfortable after an hour or so. I use it periodically during the day to create a variation of seating---don't expect to sit in this for 8 hours at a go. I don't think you will be able to do that!

Have the same problem with mine. I agree with the others....still like the seat. Perhaps we should contact the company and they will modify the design.

You could probably sit in for more than 5 hrs. Racing seats are usually the most comfortable things to sit in and it is a real racing seat for a car bolted to a roller. It is awesome great quality for the money and surprisingly comfortable, it adjusts up and down, reclines, defiantly not going to be as comforable as a big fluffy leather office chair bur looks way too cool so who cares . Hope this helps

The desk cycle is pretty heavy. It may slide forward but they include a Velcro strap to connet your chair to the cycle because they know that people using it at their desk have desk chairs with wheels. Its not light weight and it did not teeter totter when pedaling. Plus its lower to the ground compared to other pedalars
