    After extensive exhaustive research ! After speaking to experts in the medical world from different specialists has led me to the conclusion that bike saddles cutout or not are putting your nerves and circulation at risk !due to unnatural pressure so down the line be it years or decades you are going to have issues !in the same way my father who has been driving buses for thirty years now has developed permanent pain in his hands when going to pick something up due to nerve damage from steering .Some of this is defined my genetics build etc other cobormities however for example diabetes .recumbant cycles are definitely the way to go from my rsearch as the human anatomy of the sacrum is designed for pressure to be redistributed over the entire sacrum and not in any one point and the recumbant allows this equal distribution in the same way as sitting on a recliner chair at home. One point saddle .cutouts may sound ideal but all they do is position pressure elsewhere. As human beings we are not designed for sitting down for long periods of time period on any type of chair!! which is why we develop pressure sores more seen in the elderly and immobile chair bound Bedbound patients as subcutaneous tissues are first compressed leading to redness non blanching that if left with no pressure relief will ulcerate leading to cavities that can do to the depth of seeing visable bone in cases where a person has sat in a chair for days on end without moving there are four grades of pressure sores and pressure relief is essential all the equipment in the world is not going to prevent that I'm not saying here cyclists are going to develop extensive pressure damage from cycling because the hours one spends on the saddle will not do it unless you stayed in a saddle for days on end without getting off at all which is highly unlikely however there will be damage which is unseen due to the unatural pressures places on the tissues arteries and nerves occuring bit by bit over days months and years .I have therefore decided to sell the bike and look at recumbants problem is finding one !!many thanks for all the replies
    You could try BMX.

    BMX rocks. The MFs used to BMX. I think they broke every bone in their body.

    So now you think it is fine to single out and abuse people with autism.

    You have autism?

    Seems like he believes he should get free rein to do and say what he wants because of it. Most odd.
