I tried something new on my 3100 mile trip last week. I have the Touring Seat, and never had any issues with it, but when you are on the road for 600-800 miles a day.......
First three days of the trip last week, I wore what I call "BIKE" shorts - the thin polyester/spandex shorts the NBA players wear under their uniform shorts. They increase circulation, and my legs and arse were fine all the way to the East Coast.
I forgot I had another pair, and started home in briefs and jeans, and my arse was feeling it late into both days it took to get home.
They don't have a "fly", so a bit less convenient when nature calls, but I do think they are worth trying when one knows they'll be on the road all day. They make them for cyclists with pads and all, maybe even gell pads, but I just have the generic shorts with no pads. I'll definitely try them some more.
