 Works great for me on 3 bikes September 23, 2008
J. Devenport (Albuquerque, NM)
I bought my first Hobson easy-seat a couple years ago. I had been having problems with numbness and pain in the groin area for hours after riding more than a few miles. I tried the "tractor seat" wide padded seats available at Target and other stores selling bike stuff and found my [...] "walking" itself off the front of the seat as I pedalled along; I was continually (every few pedal strokes) having to scoot back into position onto the broad seat, which was not only annoying but additionally tiring. The "easy-seat", with its "wobbling" left and right cheek-seats, helps avoid this.
I liked mine so much I ordered a second Hobson seat for my other bike, a mountain bike, but it got sidetracked because my wife was also uncomfortable on her standard crotch-killer seat and wanted to try my newly ordered Hobson easy-seat "just to see how it worked."
She loved it so much she refused to let me take it back off her bike, so I now have to order a third unit for my mountain bike to avoid having to trade the one I have back and forth between 2 bicycles.
I ride my bike 24 to 30 miles daily, 12 to 15 miles to work and back depending on my route. I still experience shoulder and wrist pain on rides of more than a few miles but I can't blame that on the Hobson seat.
Obviously some people prefer groin pain instead of using these seats, but my wife and I sure think they're great. I'm a little fearful of the newer Hobson split-seats since they appear to be trying to be a more "normal" seat with a nose on the seat that looks like it might be a crotch crusher on long rides. Will look for reviews on those.....
Hobson Original Easy Seat really is comfortable August 31, 2008

It took about 12 adjustments with this quite unusually designed seat to get it to work for me. I also had to raise the handlebars and change the seat height. But now that it is set, I like it. It offers a much more comfortable ride. A little more padding might make it better and I believe that the newer Easy Seat II is more padded. It seems as if all bike seats should have this design. Makes much more sense.
 Wear a jock! August 29, 2008

I did not like this saddle. I couldn't find a way to be comfortable when riding with this seat. Also, better wear a jock. When you go over bumps it feels like they might fall off!

Fantastic Bike Seat August 25, 2008

The people who don't like this seat probably didn't adjust it properly.
I'm 56 and ride a mountain bike on paved trails intermittently for 25 mile bursts of exercise and have done so for years. I always have pain due to pressure points and to friction on my thighs. UNTIL NOW!
I just got an original Easyseat and spent some time adjusting it to remove the pressures noted by some other riders. I now like it tilted quite a bit forward and high, which leaves my legs extended properly on the full downstroke and places my body "balanced" on the seat rather than "sitting" upright.
The seat is unusual in that it feels as if I am not anchored very firmly. But this was easy to get used to because I am not a (favorite perjoritive term) who rejects good ideas just because they are weird.
I then rode 30 miles and totally exhausted my legs, which hadn't ridden a bike in 4 months. (I moved states, sold my old bike and have been running instead.)
I had NO PAIN and NO AFTEREffects! It felt as if I had not even been on a bike ride. I returned after 2 1/2 hours riding in 85 deg. morning sun in Spokane and immediately went on an hour long power-walk with my wife.
I expect that different people will prefer different versions of the Easyseat. Version 2 supposedly favors a more upright posture. The even newer "horned" split seat by Hobson probably gives the best of both worlds, although I prefer no rubbing on the thighs and don't want to wear bike shorts.
I recommend the original, but riders should expect to try out many adjustments and to "get used to it".
