Great gel seat!

So as I've aged the first part of my body to give out riding a bike now is my rear side. I'd like to do a distance record for myself this fall but I don't think I can do it without some extra cushion. Can anyone recommend a good gel seat cover for about $20? I ordered one on Amazon that was one of their best sellers and they refunded my order as they were out of stock.

I do not know of a single serious cyclist who uses a gel seat cover.
Look at getting a good saddle and a pair of quality bib shorts. Price is a loose guide but not a guarantee.
Unfortunately everyone is different so while recommendations can point you in the right direction they may well fall short on personal comfort.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Thanks yes I'll be getting some bike shorts first thing. Unfortunately I'll have to go the inexpensive route. Any suggestion for a manufacturer that had a decent cheap model?0

"$20" would suggest not in the UK.amrushton said:Dhb as a start point.
I'd also suggest that $20 will not be sufficient to resolve this.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

As above - decent shorts (DHB are a good shout), and a saddle that suits you..
The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Everyone is different, but I had the same issues and found a Charge Spoon saddle was the most comfortable for me and as has been said some reasonable padded shorts, not bargain basement.0

Just about everyone beginning to do longer rides gets a sore a&£#, to some extent it’s a lot about toughening up your behind. Get some reasonable bibs and build up the miles with 3+ rides a week. Cream before (& after) rides to avoid chafing.
Saddles are very personal; lots of barely used ones at bargain prices on Ebay/ Craig’s / Gumtree / classified on this site.0
