:

A seat similar to the one mentioned in a previous followup was 
manufactured and sold by a company in Michigan.  I had two problems
with it:

1.  The company makes the thing in two seat post sizes.  My seat post
    was a third size.

2.  After overcoming problem 1, I found that the riding feels insecure.
    I couldn't get over the sensation of being perched precariously
    atop the bike rather than astride and in control.


While I don't have the specific anatomic difficulty which started this
series of articles, I would like to see some ideas on keeping the center
of the pelvis from getting sore on long rides.

P.S.  Thanks to all, silent or otherwise, who have kept this discussion
      constructive.
