"A
marked improvement over standard issue saddles!"
"Already
received the 2 (R2) saddles which we used this weekend on a 60 mile rail trail
biking trip.
The saddles are a marked improvement over standard issue
saddles!"

"I cycle for
cross training/fitness and also for leisure. I cycle usually short distances on
a road/mountain bike cross.
I noticed that when I cycled longer distances,
over 1 hour, then I would develop severe numbness due to too much pressure on
the perineum.
Your saddle has certainly solved that problem!"

"I switched to
this (RIDO) saddle on my road bike and it is pretty fricken unbelievable.
I
feel like I could ride all day and not be
uncomfortable."
.........................................................................
Oh
yeah, I had to get something like this because after about 1 and a half hours on
the bike, I was numb."

"Dear Sir/Madam, I
have been asked to review the Rido 2 cycle seat for the CTC.
You will be
pleased to know that I have had a positive experience so far of using the seat,
having suffered recently with prostatitis, and I have just ordered my 2nd seat
in 2 weeks (this one to go on my mountain bike).
Best
wishes”

racers point of view but from a comfort point of view, UNBEATABLE!

order a couple more!"

"Thanks for the Rido.
I will definitely be ordering another one for my other bike. I did not think the
reviews could be right since they were so positive, but they were!
I use the
Rido on my carbon Trek for delivering boats and working out in the Florida Keys.
Thanks again."

"Would recommend the saddle to
anyone"
"I use my bike mainly
for travelling to and from work - about 12 miles a day.
The saddle is a big
improvement on the standard one fitted before and I find that I no longer get
the discomfort that I used to (get) during and after. Would recommend the saddle
to anyone."

"The new R2 saddle is different
from the old one.... It's even better, which is remarkable because the blue one
was already very good!"
"The new R2
saddle is different from the old one. (I've got the blue one on my Brompton).
It's even better which is remarkable because the blue one was already very
good.
But is there something I don't like?
The new saddle looks more
expensive, more design, more serieus, maybe even more sporty. So no negatives
there. It's simply a great saddle (and I have tried many).
But the downside
is the lack of colour. So don't be afraid and take on the paint and give us some
special ones so that everyone can see, when we park our bikes, how a great
saddle can look.
Must be a nice mission. After bringing the best saddle to
the world you can bring them more colours.

"Have both
original Rido saddle on mountain bike and R2 on sports bike. Both saddles are
brilliant. When I first received the saddle and pressed it, I thought no way
would it be comfortable. Fitted it to the bike, went for a 10 mile ride and was
amazed that I didn't have any aches. They do everything advertised."

"I have been using the
R2 saddle for a few weeks now. This was an upgrade for my older version Rido. I
am delighted with the improvements that have been made to the saddle! I am a
leisure, fitness and some time club racer, and I have found the saddle to give
great comfort on any road surface over short or long distances. Keep up the
good work!"

"...it (R2) is as much of an
improvement over the original Rido saddle as that was over all
others"
"Have now been using
the R2 saddle for several weeks. In my opinion it is as much of an improvement
over the original Rido saddle as that was over all others.
The R2 is in a
different league for cycling comfort - a real winner!"

"I don't feel any perineal
pressure anymore!"
"I've finally tested
the saddle extensively... and am happy to tell you I don't feel any perineal
pressure anymore! It works great for me after having tried 6 different saddles
of varying quality.
I think it would be usefull to send a little manual with
your saddles: at first, I (and every one who tested my new saddle) didn't know
how to sit on it. I had to sit rather on the back let it slope a little upwards
to
sit comfortably.
I'll be ordering a few for my other bikes and
friends. Thank you!!"

"Clever design has made an item
simpler, better functioning and more durable in one
stroke"
"Hi there. I just
wanted to let you know I've recently tried one of your saddles for the first
time and, after hunting for years, I think I may have found the right throne for
me! :) I do like the quirky looks and the fact that technological advancement
and clever design has made an item simpler, better functioning and more durable
in one stroke.
I do have one query though. How long before there is an
alternative to the stock steel rails? Like many, I'm a bit of a weight weenie
and the thought of bolting solid steel saddle rails to my baby makes me a little
bit queasy. Please tell me you have plans to introduce an option for tubular
steel rails or titanium ones, pretty please?
Many thanks for a great
product!"
