MoonSaddle™

The past summer, I rode my Trek 5200 equipped with MoonSaddle™ from San Francisco, CA to Washington, DC on behalf of people with disabilities on the Journey of Hope. My experience was one that I would not trade for anything in the world, and I am happy to say that the MoonSaddle™ was a huge part of my successful ride.

While many of my teammates would complain about their saddles and the awful effects that it was having on their undercarriages. I was incredibly comfortable the entire way. Over nearly 4,000 miles, I experienced no discomfort and no numbness “down there”. Some of my teammates, especially in the middle stages of the trip, would complain about saddle sores and problems that are normally reserved for elderly men and can be solved with little blue pills. I, however, had no such problems, and for this I thank the MoonSaddle™, which is a comfortable ride and puts no pressure on key blood vessels.

I can say with near certainty that the MoonSaddle™, while being an excellent alternative to a traditional saddle in regard to men’s health, is also an excellent saddle for cycling. I experienced no drop off in the power of my stroke compared to a “normal” saddle. Thank you very much for your product, and all the success to you in the future. I will continue to rave about the MoonSaddle™ when fellow cyclists say, “what is that thing”?

P.S. I nicknamed my seat the “Mustache Ride”

I first heard of the MoonSaddle™ through my friend and fellow cyclist on Journey of Hope, Adam S. We had trained together while at school and both disliked our conventional seats. I called for a complimentary MoonSaddle™ for riding in Push America. Naturally, when the saddles were switched out, I had to make adjustments from pitch of the seat to the height to find a balance that was best. It took me less than an hour riding and adjusting to find something that worked for me, where I had comfortable position and pedal motion. 

My immediate impression once I was done with a long ride wasn’t pain from the saddle, which would typically be the case with a regular seat, but satisfaction from a good workout. I focused more on my pedal stroke and how to handle the terrain, rather than thinking about how to reposition myself in order to be in less pain. It was great not to have the burden of saddle pain on my mind while riding. 

I started with a softer MoonSaddle҄™ and when I met up in Phillipsburg, MT, they gave me a more firm saddle, which I think was more resistant to the pressure of 5-7 hours of daily riding. With an intense trip such as the Journey, the harder seat was definitely more beneficial. The MoonSaddle™ provided consistent comfort the entire day of cycling. 

If I were to ride another 4,300 miles, I would have to use a MoonSaddle™. I believe that you have a great concept that has been needed for some time, and by testing your product, and listening to its users, you will indeed create a wonderful cycling saddle. 

Thank you for your generosity towards Push America and helping us without cause of raising funds and awareness for people with disabilities.
