Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I feel like a proper Omafiets has a perfectly fine saddle. It's the bikes made for sports, rather than transportation, that have the painful saddles, because supposedly you can't perform if you're not suffering.
Sport saddles shouldn't hurt either, but they're designed to be used with cycling shorts which provide padding without the friction.
There's still a period where you're breaking in your sit bones.
When I got my omafiets a couple years ago my ass was pretty sore for at least a month with daily riding. You aren't really putting any weight on your arms or legs so your saddle is doing the heavy lifting.
Fair enough, I've never bought a new omafiets, I imagine they're still too stiff at the start.
