The fact is that EVERYONE who rides the RAAM on a conventional saddle
experiences SOME pain and MOST experience extreme pain. That is not
true
of those riding the RAAM on a recumbent seat....

Unless the seat is poorly designed. "Fast Freddy" Markham is on record
that the seat in the Gold Rush used for Easy Racers RAAM attempt limited
riding shifts to a couple of hours. If I recall correctly, the seat was
a
last minute change and was not tested before the race.

That must have been the Cobra seat which I could only stand for about 5
minutes. Then it was ... let me off that thing! It just about killed my
butt. Yet, I have heard from others that they do not have a problem with
that seat. Apparently, this world is full of different kinds of butts.

Yes, the world is made up of asses of all kinds, I would say.

Jeez, I think if I were an American living in Taiwan I would have a little
something more interesting to say to the group. Isn't travel suppose to be
broadening (the mind, not the ass)?
