Hiya all,

I'm looking for a new saddle, and I was wondering if any of you know a place where I can try them before buying

I had a small Specialized Dolce from the 2010s that got stolen last May (same week my cat passed, just to trauma dump a bit), and that saddle was PERFECT for me. I've looked around for a Specialized Riva Body Geometry, but they don't produce them anymore, I can only find similar ones on eBay

Any expert here who can suggest a similar saddle to install on my new Boardman bike? I do 6+6 miles per day 5 days per week, and I will participate to the London to Brighton cycle ride, so I would need something comfy but... sport-y?? My current one is a bit too hard and with no pressure relief, so I think I'll have to change it by next week the latest to get used to the new one before the marathon

Thank you for your help!! :)

Hi all,

I am now joining the club of people who got their bike stolen in London. I literally got in and out of Waitrose in 5 minutes in broad daylight and the only thing left was the broken lock.

Is it normal that I'm not even upset? I just looked at the parking, saw that it wasn't there, and thought "well... London"

I mean don't get me wrong, I am upset, but my brain picked up straight away on the fact that I'll never see it again and shrugged.

Waitrose's security was kinda useless, they just told me the guy wore a balaclava and it took him like 30 seconds to remove the lock and leave.

I believe in karma so hopefully they'll get what they deserve one day.

Anyway... if you see a nice Specialized Dolce from 2012 going around... that's my baby. Say hi to it for me :')
