Re: [RBW] Re: The Bush, the Bike and the Search for Saddle Nirvana

[Leah Peterson]

I only discovered them a few months ago, of course when riding season was ending. But I haven’t noticed a thing about those rear pockets on any of my rides so far. Someone on this List recommended them so I’m assuming they would work great for long rides. They are half off on Back Country right now…I just got a second pair ordered yesterday… On Apr 6, 2025, at 2:42 AM, Daniel Grilli <grillf...@gmail.com> wrote: Thanks for the recommendation Leah. They look great. How do the rear pockets go in terms of saddle comfort on a longer ride? Regards, Daniel 6/4/2025 11:48、Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! <jonasandle...@gmail.com>のメール: Dan, oh how I know. Normal pants, yes. I like leggings for long club rides but not for regular stuff. Someone turned me on to these pants and I think they come in shorts, too. I got the women’s, here are the men’s: https://topodesigns.com/products/desert-pants-mens?variant=44185958285365 https://topodesigns.com/products/dirt-pants-mens?variant=44368985227317 REI has a couple other options, too. But I thought these were so interesting because they were organic cotton and not synthetic.  Leah On Saturday, April 5, 2025 at 10:10:20 PM UTC-4 Dan wrote: Hi Kat, Thank you for sharing your ride report and photos of your lovely part of Australia! I thoroughly enjoy reading people's experiences of their bikes and the adventures they get on. With photos of course. I echo Leah's comments that for me it is about having pants with no seams or rear pockets rather than padded shorts. I use some cheap MTB shorts for now, but I'd prefer to find something that looked a bit more 'normal'. Hmm. How do you find doing long rides with a basket on your Appaloosa? I see you are a fellow Frameworks Designs enjoyer. I have the same bag on my Appaloosa - see photo from a recent overnighter below. I think the bags are extremely well thought out and made. I regularly get compliments when I carry the bag around off the bike. Nice one! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
