Bicycle riding is one of the most wonderful forms of exercise, for men and for women. Sometimes riders find it hard to go for a ten mile ride and think their riding days are over, because they can't feel comfortable with their bicycle, or specifically with their bicycle saddle, at least until they have tested an ergonomic bicycle seat.. after that, they have changed idea!
An ergonomic bicycle saddle has to do with the idea of being, first of all, efficient and safe, and then, as a consequence, of being comfortable. In this way your body maintains the perfect equilibrium as you ride your bike. The saddles are designed in such a way that they don't create any harm to the body of the cyclist: the ergonomic design is ideated so that the seat allows for a proper weight distribution. Using leather in the manufacturing of an ergonomic bicycle saddle is useful as it shapes itself and follows the rider's body. It all has to do with anatomy.
Brooks LTD from England is a leather saddle manufacturer, one of the oldest in Europe, it has been founded in 1886 and since then people at Brooks have worked to improve the performance of their unique saddles.
Plenty of models to select from, you can choose first of all between sprung and unsprung models. Some years ago, in the 70s, the ergonomic bicycle seat had springs. Cyclists who carry great part of their body weight on the legs don't need springs in their saddles; they in fact prefer them because it is easier to pedal at high velocity without bouncing. Saddles with springs, on the other hand, help you keep a right posture because they favour the upright riding position; in this case, most of the rider's weight leans on the ergonomic bicycle saddle.
