I just bought a hornless seat on Amazon called a DerriAir. It was my crotch that was getting irritated with a regular seat. The new seat is fine.

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.

Wish I could help with your question. For me, it's a great bike, but the tires that came with it were too narrow for the best ride, even on roads. Changed tires and it's a great ride.

The problem is the mesh back comes apart with a lot of pressure. The bike is otherwise great. My husband weighs 185 and the pressure he put on the mesh back has broken twice. We are on our third mesh back. He put clamps on the sides of the seat to hold the rubber gasket and staples in place. The rest of the bike would accommodate a much heavier person.

These sunlite cloud-9 seats are wonderful, and I highly recommend them. I have bought several of them for my family. Sorry so late to reply. Don't often check this email. These bike seats are ah-mazing!!!

That's a mighty wide seat post. Most are thinner. Remove nut from the tightening screw. Must remove seat post from the frame and slip it up from the bottom. May need to remove the rubber washer/spacer. Apply nut back into the nut-sized depression. Tighten. You may have a very nice bike...and heavy-duty also with a frame that big. Good luck. I specialize in old Schwinns and Raleighs. Have fun!

My advice is.....don`t bother with this bike. It`s very poor quality and the seat absolutely SUCKS!!! I could only stay on for 10 minutes, due to the seat. I can not say enough about how poor the design is. Schwinn should be ashamed. Buy the Schwinn Airdyne bike that is all steel. 100 % better quality. I`ve had one for over 10 years. The seat is much more comfortable and it still works great. It`s the one that weighs 98 lbs.

You just really have to tighten it the best you can. I initially thought the same thing but I was able to tighten the seat and it does not move. The smallest crank makes a big difference. Good Luck!

I did! I put on a "gel seat" that I had purchased for my old bike! just make sure you tighten it really well..

My back wheel broke also. I have a feeling they are just really low quality. I contacted Amazon, they told me to contact the manufacturer. I tried that, but their website is broken. So, I contacted Amazon again and they sent me a whole new bike and a return sticker for the old one. This was even though it was past the time for returns. I would recommend contacting Amazon. They seem to be really good about this sort of thing.

I am not a child, but I do have the bicycle.. I am 5 ft 1 in and unable to ride an adult bike because my legs are very short due to rickets as a child. My balance is also not that good. My husband has my seat adjusted and replaced the original seat with one that was wider for more balance and comfort. Make sure you have the right air in the tires..it makes it much easier to pedal. She would have to be able to pull the brakes that are on the handle bar, but it has no gears and rides very smooth. I wish we lived close by so she could try mine. I think maybe she could master this bike. It has been a joy to me since I also cannot master a two wheeler. Good luck and God Bless.. I am not a child, but I do have the bicycle..

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.

Overall not exactly a comfortable bike to ride on .. I had to go and buy my own seat ... I don't luv it at all

Yes! I'm exhausted after 30! :). It's really a nice bike. I use a bigger , separate fan though.

Had some pretty bad pain on bones between my legs, this seat definitely helps also will take a few rides for your body and bones to adjust to cycling...you can talk to the folks at a bike shop if there's one in your area, they may have some advice...but I just love this seat and maybe will work for you too, good luck

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.
