Hey guys and girls. Had my Spyder for 2 years now and the only problem I really have is that I get very sore riding it. I have been in a wheel chair 21 years with a T4 injury and earlier this decade broke my tailbone (don't ever break your tailbone!) This has caused me a lot of nerve damage pain that extends all the way to my toes. I wondered if anyone knows of seat builders that can pressure map your butt while sitting on the bike?? This would probably cure all my riding pain problems and allow me to fulfill my dream of riding around America. Thanks for any info in advance. roller:thumbup:

Rick Mayer (http://www.rickmayercycle.com/) was a critical care nurse, with a background in orthopedics. I don't know if he would build a seat for a Spyder, or if he could do what you ask. He's in California, though, and it would be worth calling him to ask.

Rick built one for my Concours and was Great. He speaks "Butts" just ask him.
