It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

If you don't want a part of your body to get sore, then that part shouldn't be pushing against something that doesn't move along with it. That's the thinking behind the vabsRider bicycle saddle, the two sides of which pivot in time with your pedaling.

My big problem with all of that though is that now I have to do prep work before I can ride the bike. I just want to be able to get on the bike and go, I don't want to have to do stuff.

This is for just riding around on simple terrain and on the quieter roads. Obviously if you're going to go off-road then you need to make some preparations, but that's reasonable. I shouldn't have to put on special gear just to go to the shops.
