As Stan says, a Brooks B-17 only looks uncomfortable (not really).  It is THE most comfortable saddle out there.

Yes, Gordon rides on a Brooks B-17 cycling saddle.  I have one on my old training bike (the bike and saddle are now both 41 years old) and another, newer one on my newer Trek road bike.  They are both amazingly comfortable.  Properly treated, they assume the shape of the hip bones of the rider over time so they conform perfectly and are the most comfortable saddles out there.  I have logged a LOT of miles, up to 100 per day for several days, and never had saddle issues.  Thigh cramps, maybe, but never saddle issues.

I love my Brooks!

And Ed:  I’ve never flown in a B-17 Bomber, but have a bunch of hours in a C130.  My bike saddle is a LOT more comfortable than those “lawn chairs” on a C130.
