PROFILE: Products for bike fans

Bike saddles should be chosen according to the intended use, riding style and possibly your gender. Ladies saddles are generally a little broader. Also, the saddle can be broader and shorter the straighter the seating position is on the cycle. Saddles are offered in a broad range of varieties: saddles with a hole, saddles with or without padding, with or without suspension, made of leather or breathable materials, and saddles made of light plastic, which are often used for racing saddles.
