Saddle Pain Isn’t Normal: What Every Cyclist Needs to Know
About this episode
If you’re a cyclist who’s ever thought saddle pain, burning, or saddle sores were just part of cycling this episode is for you. And while my conversation about bike fitting does lean towards female problems I think that this is an interesting conversation for both anatomies! Today, I sit down with Phil Burt, former bike fitter to British Cycling and Team Sky, to talk about the most common but least discussed problems in the sport. We get into why so many cyclists and women in particular are suffering in silence, why discomfort is not something you should just push through, and give you some simple bike fit and equipment changes that can make a huge difference.
