Be kind to your hind.
This is my review of the Sunlite Cloud-9 Bicycle Suspension Cruiser Saddle, Cruiser Gel, Tri-color Black seat. Thing's for a bicycle. It cost twenty-four dollars and ninety-nine cents.
Other reviewers persuaded me to buy the Cloud-9. One negative reviewer did allege that all that so-called comfort positive reviewers reported is "largely in their heads." Another asserted that if you ride for any distance on that Cloud-9 "you'll have a very uncomfortable prostate." I always read the negative reviews first. That didn't take very long here, there weren't all that many.
Then I read some stuff positive reviewers had written. There were tons of those reviews, so I just skimmed a few. The ones I did read didn't say anything about Cloud-9 comfort being in their head, they talked at length about how kind the thing is to their "butt," even after 25 miles (as opposed to just 20 miles ante-Cloud-9). Can't imagine a human being riding one of those contraptions 25 miles. Nobody mentioned an uncomfortable prostate. One guy did say his "nutty buddies" have an easier time with Cloud-9. Another described the usual non-Cloud-9 seats that come with new bikes as "prostate exam types."
I think my new bike came with the prostate exam type seat. I tried to add a picture to this comment so you could decide if it's an authentic prostate type. If the picture materialized, you can see that the bike is a "Breezer low-step." The Breezer is built for old geezers like me. Looks a lot like a girl's bike, but it's even more user friendly. Anyway, I need to get on with this. I bought the Cloud-9 and had my bike man install the thing. My wife approved, said it was one of the first sensible things she'd remembered me doing. Said those prostate types ought to be outlawed.
My suggestion to you is to buy the Sunlite Cloud-9 Bicycle Suspension Cruiser Saddle, Cruiser Gel, Tri-color Black seat. It doesn't cost all that much. Your wife will make positive comments about you.
P.S. I gave the Sunlite Cloud-9 Bicycle Suspension Cruiser Saddle, Cruiser Gel, Tri-color Black seat the assed test this week and am happy to report to you that I do not feel that the comfort it offers is "largely in my head." It was, in fact, kind to my hind.
P.S. I'm sorry I took so much of your time with this review.
