What if it doesn’t have the bit that goes between your legs?
I bought a seat like that because I understand that the normal bike seats put pressure on that area in a way that can lead to impotence. I haven’t tried the seat yet because I’m lazy, so I don’t know how comfortable it is. Though even if it isn’t comfortable, it’s a trade-off.
It’s a very small percentage of the population that is affected by bike seats without center channels. It may help you, it probably won’t harm you.
A slight warning there is some concern that the cut out collapses as the saddle ages, causing the padding to pinch your anatomy rather than support it. The less pressing on your saddle the less of a concern this is.
The best place to have padding while riding your bike is against your anatomy. Wear a chamois if you’re planning on riding longer distances. You can get them as either the classic spandex or as a pair of padded briefs you wear under some shorts.
The most important part to bike saddle fitting is thus:
A saddle designed to support the width of your sit bones
A saddle designed for the posture you ride your bike with (a euro style city bike needs a much different saddle than a keirin race bike)
Factors of safety are defined to deal with the probability of things going wrong in a manner that is acceptable to society based on a body of knowledge and experimentation. You can’t just define your own.
Also, just because something is designed for a specific load doesn’t mean it will fail at that load.
Yeah that’s reasonable. A reasonable person could see how that could look like something life threatening until examined by a health care provider.
Knee pain you’ve had for a month? Had a panic attack yesterday? Pain because you just had surgery and don’t want to take your pain medications? This is more what I’m talking about
Diarrhea for a week. Didn’t think he needs to see a GP but today he felt it does not get better and he needs to see someone now.
Diarrhea and didn’t feel good. Yeah. That’s it.
Had a fall three days ago. Now the elbow hurts. Does not want to go to the GP/ED,but now the daughter has arrived and basically forced the patient.
Fall. Zero injuries. But the nursing home wanted to get
Another fall yesterday. Zero pain when not moving, minimal pain in slight bruise.
To be fair we had a massive multi vehicle (5 cars) accident as the last call (5min before the end of our shift) that required helicopter backup and everything (severe brain, spine, thorax and abdo trauma). But still…
Most people don’t understand the real cost of software development, because the price of apps creates skewed expectations. In practice, software companies employ a business model that amortizes costs over time, making the true investment less obvious to users. The apparent simplicity of well-designed apps can also mislead users about the complexity involved. So, if somebody sees an app that costs a dollar they might assume that the cost of developing the app might be a few hundred dollars, while in practices it can be hundreds of thousands.
There are different screen sizes. Your monitor isn’t the standard universal size of every other monitor, some are larger and some are smaller. Your phone isn’t the same width and height as every other phone. The website will look different on different devices.
The pharmacy is not where the people that stock the front of the store work. They are very busy trying to fill hundreds of prescriptions and deal with doctors, patients and insurance companies.
Don’t ask them where to find the cosmetics that are on sale. We don’t even know. We are not a service desk.
