Looking at the seat, doesn't it hurt elsewhere on the body? I think I'd be achy, and I've got girl parts.

“One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. 'Oh, no!', I said, 'Disneyland burned down.' He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

I'm thinking about it but the saddle also acts as a carrying handle. A gel saddle might be a bit awkward for that purpose.you can replace with a gel saddle

Ran into a former superintendent from my building this morning. Seeing him is several HUGE rtbc--first, that he's still alive, and second, that he's on the mend. He had to retire on disability a few years ago (he's only maybe in his early forties) because he was suffering from a disease that caused his body to form extra tissue--not neurofibromatosis, but more like scar tissue in the joints, under his skin, around his lungs, iirc. This is a guy who was a real dynamo, very hard worker, and all-around nice guy. It was so sad to think of what was happening to him, and to worry that he had died.
He went for stem cell therapy in Chicago -- and it worked! To see him walking and talking and being much like his old self made me very, very happy.
(Of course, it also makes me very angry at theidiots people who decry stem cell therapy because they equate all of it with harvesting innocent unborn babies and the cloning of humans and similar BS. If they could meet Stephen, maybe they'd learn something.)

If one believes that embryos acquire a soul/achieve personhood at conception it's not clear what there is for them to learn.

Tempur sells saddle covers. I wanted to buy one, but it didn't seem worth it given I can only ride my bike a few months every year.
