This morning outside my apartment I hopped on my bike to discover my bike had the squishy feeling of a tire gone flat. But neither tire looked flat, and squeezing each tire confirmed both to be inflated as normal. So I disregarded the squishiness and headed off to work.
It wasn't until I had made it most of the way to the office and was stopped at a red light that I remembered the squishiness and thought to check the saddle. While straddling the frame, I reached behind me and pushed down on the saddle with my palm. Yep, my saddle is finally becoming soft and pliable. I know from experience the end result of breaking in a leather saddle is a delight—and a well deserved one. My saddle has around 3,000 to 4,000 miles on it.
Where I biked today:
- Work, to do work
- Grocery store, to buy groceries
- Running store, to return some shoes
