A comfortable (well padded) bicycle seat becomes a lot less comfortable after you’ve been sitting on it for several hours. Like, painful, and possibly dangerous.

An uncomfortable (only contacts your sit bones) saddle stays pretty much the same if it fits you right.

They make comfortable seats, but you’re not supposed to sit on them for very long.

That being said, no bike seat is comfortable after 11 hours on it…

Neither are proper chairs. I think you just shouldn't stay on something for too long.

Sometimes, you have to get off your bike and let it frolic around for a bit while you walk around for a while.

I mean that’s all well and good, but when you have to bike 140 miles in one day, you’ll be on your bike for a while, whether you like it or not.
