Moon Saddle     01/08
    It’s about time someone came up with a new design of the traditional bike saddle. We took the saddle out for a two-hour road ride. Although it took a few minutes to get used to the fact that you are only sitting on your “sit bones,” we really noticed the difference. We’re now firm “Moonie” believers.

Moon Saddle will be exhibiting at this year’s Seattle International Bicycle Expo.$79.50. www.moonsaddle.com
