 interesting idea, bad execution December 23, 2008
During my cross country cycling trek earlier this year, I tried out one of those Schwinn "no pressure" saddles. The experiment lasted all of 5 miles as I traversed Tallahasee, FL
Waste of time and $20. I know what they are trying to do - which is recreate that short-lived rocker saddle from a few years back, but putting any real torque on this thing causes one (or at least me) to slide right off it - or I'd have to set it at a bizarre angle and not really be able to sit on it. Once I hit the St Marks trail extension, I swapped out my regular saddle and left the Schwinn saddle with the groundskeeper at the St Mark's trail Trailhead. I hoped that maybe someone else can make better use of it.
A for effort, F for execution.
You're really better off getting a real saddle regardless of your physique.
 Seat is too Chubby! December 14, 2008
I felt the width of this seat interferred with the downward movement of my legs. I just couldn't get comfortable on it. Sit forward on the edge of a chair and try to bicycle your legs, you'll get what I mean. I took it back.
 Doesn't work for me December 8, 2008
I like the idea of this seat, especially its width, but I also feel less secure while I'm riding. I had no idea that I was using the horn/nose to balance and stay on the seat, but I must be. I probably could become used to this one, but life is short, so I've chosen a wider seat with a horn.
 Spinner bike November 26, 2008
I bought a spinner bike for weight loss and the seat was so uncomfortable. A local bike shop put on a gel seat, but it wasn't much better. Got the Schwinn seat from Amazon and it is MUCH, MUCH better. I was afraid the Schwinn seat wouldn't work with a home spinner bike, but I can pedal like crazy with it! Now I can concentrate on cycling and not how much my butt hurts.
 Amazing! Ride all day without pain. November 22, 2008
I have always ridden scooters, because bicycle seats have always hurt me as if some attacker was hitting my seat bones with a mallet.
But I really wanted to switch to a bicycle so I bought a folding bike by Citizen. As with all bikes, I found that I could only sit on the saddle for about five minutes before the pain began. I tried a gel saddle cover, but in my opinion, gel is just as hard as the seat beneath it, and it concentrates the pressure into two painful ridges, right under your bruised sit bones.
So I plonked down $20 and tried the Schwinn No Pressure Seat, It is the opposite of a bike saddle. Instead of raised cushions that dig into your behind, it has concave depressions for your buttocks to rest in. And it is soft, comfy and supportive, and keeps you still as well.
The difference was immediately apparent from the first pedal stroke. My bicycle endurance immediately changed from 5 minutes to all day.
I have read concerns that the absence of a front horn can cause instability but can feel no such evidence. The concave nature of each side compensates for this. Remember this is the opposite of a bike saddle and works in a different way entirely.
Your buttocks will thank you if you buy one of these.
