If I was to buy another bike I'd get one with the most comfortable seat possible and get someone else to ride it for me while I'm in the back. People love bike riding and I'm like "My back can't cope with being bent over like that and my fanny hurts". I do envy bike riders.

Having children alters the way you can ride a bike!

That was before and after. My bike had a sticker on it that said NO STUNT. I tell you what, it felt like I had every single time.

This is my 3rd bike, that I currently have. Frankenbike tourer, AusPost BMX cargo bike, and the new racer/road bike. There's fanny friendly gel seats now days.
