If you don't want a part of your body to get sore, then that part shouldn't be pushing against something that doesn't move along with it. That's the thinking behind the vabsRider bicycle saddle, the two sides of which pivot in time with your pedaling.

Yeah could be. It's something I'm mindful of and is definitely one way to mitigate the problem.

However, it happens with all three of my bikes.

I've seen a physiotherapist a few times who's given me some exercises to do to build up some strength in the right places and take the pressure off the joint - I've been pretty lazy with those though.

If you adjusted your bikes yourself it's totally possible that all of them aren't adjusted properly. Go to a bike shop to get a professional fitting.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
