| “Comfort at last!”
“Hi, A friend lent me her Rido R2 to try out last week when we were on holiday on our tandem trike and I mentioned to her that I was suffering from saddle soreness. I was most impressed. It took precisely three miles to get used to, was wonderfully comfortable and I ordered one for my solo on my return home on Monday. Received it today – excellent delivery, thank you. After the first mile or two I did not give the saddle another thought, which to me is always the proof of how good an item is! Comfort at last! Will be ordering again – possibly two more (one for the tandem and one for the tandem trike). Looking forward to your reply.

I sit straighter and my weight is taken by my seat bones so there is less pressure on my soft tissues. It has taken a long time to find the right saddle. My husband had one first, then I got one too. They seem to be good for both sexes. “It is a really good saddle. Did 70 miles last Sunday, bit sore on the points at the finish. Best saddle yet. Many thanks!” “I have the R2 on my commute bike and the racier one (RLt) on my racer (I don’t race though) and am more than happy with both.
“Amazing” “I wanted to report that I have been using this saddle for the past month and it has been amazing. I wish I’d found Rido before I spent £125 on a Brookd Flyer, because it’s better!” “I just wanted to let you know that I really didn´t want to let go of your saddle. So I completely change my set up and now, and it finally works for me now! This is quite possibly the best saddle I had!” “Big thanks to the bright spark who designed the RIDO” “Dear RIDO team, “Love it!” (R2) “I love my Rido saddle, best ever. I have ridden for years with stupid soft gel type saddles. This Is the best. I am a leisure rider. I use canal towpaths but don’t mind a bit of distance. Since getting this saddle I no longer have any saddle sore problems.
“An excellent buy” “I am getting along very well with my R2. One of my colleagues plans to buy one on my recommendation. I’ve attached a couple of snaps of my bike; it is my going to work bike which entails going over Highgate Hill (400 ft) in both directions every day, about 35 miles per week. I got a Rido R2 because at 60 I have a bit of benign prostatic hyperplasia and somebody on a website recommended your saddle; and it has proved an excellent buy. My Trek has two sets of bars, one for high vis in traffic and one for speed and fluorescent streamers to get cars to give me a bit more room, both work really well even if they are a bit nerdy. It also has a 7 speed Nexus hub and a 3 speed Shimano front changer so it really is a bit of a DIY machine, and while it does the job, it might not be the Flagship machine for you guys!

“The best cycling purchase I have ever made”
“I recently cycled in a group of 25 people from Lands End to John O’Groats over 14 days and some 1004 miles. Bikes ranged from carbon racers to hybrids and included my 20 year old steel framed Raleigh tourer. Despite everyone training for the ride, the rigours of 14 consecutive days in the saddle meant that by the time we crossed the border into Scotland everyone was experiencing various degrees of saddle soreness with Sudocream being used by all. But when I say “everyone” and “all”, that actually applied to 24 of the 25. I was the odd one out because I had bought one of your saddles last year in preparation for the trip.
I can honestly say that it was the best cycling purchase I have ever made and in 14 days of strenuous cycling my saddle remained supremely comfortable throughout. “Also attached: photo of me on the RIDO just before I was kissed by a princess!” “Hats-off to RIDO for making a saddle that is as good as the claims they make for it!” “I recently purchased a RIDO R2 saddle to put on my Giant Anthem X29. I have been riding regularly for about 2 years and this is my fifth saddle. I ride mostly paved bike trails with the occasional crushed rock trail or cross-country excursion; usually about 25 miles (2 hours or so) at a time. The bike is full suspension with a standard seat post. I run the 2.10 X 29 tires at 70 psi on the paved trails and 40 psi on crushed rock or grass/dirt. The bike won’t be used at anywhere near its full potential, but I needed the suspension for my 67 year-old musculo-skelatal system Besides, I like nice hardware. All four of the previous saddles I’ve used caused strain and/or chafing and/or severe pressure on my inner thighs, groin areas, and perineum that tended to linger for a day or two after each ride. I have not had that problem with the RIDO R2 and it’s quite a relief. It did take me four or five rides to get used to way it feels, but the longer I use it the more I like it. The saddle puts you in a position that causes body weight to fall mostly on the two lower crests (the ilium?) of the pelvic structure rather than primarily on the perineum, and encourages a slightly more upright seating position. It’s not like sitting on the couch, but then what bike saddle is? I see no reason to ever use a different saddle and would highly recommend it…especially to men who have difficulty with discomfort in the areas of groin or perineum after a ride of any significant length. It is money very well spent.” “Hats-off to RIDO for making a saddle that is as good as the claims they make for it!”
“The prep is there, I’m flying tomorrow so its all very real!

“After spending a whole day cycling there was no discomfort” “I had the Rido fitted to my new Kalkhoff Compact Urban electric bike from day one. The saddle arrived in good time for me to take with me to 50Cycles in Loughborough when I collected the bike. “I can’t thank you enough for inventing this saddle! I have recommended it to my physiotherapist who has recommended it to her other patients!” “Hi, I don’t normally respond to these sorts of things but I have been very impressed with the Rido R2 saddle: |
