It isn't a seat cover, but the seat itself has a gel layer on top of cushion. Most of the time I'm standing or hovering just over the seat so comfort usually isn't an issue.
If you keep getting sore pick up a pair of under-armor shorts, they'll hold your junk in place so your balls don't slam around too much.

Went out on a ride today and here she be:

I need to search for some attachments, water bottle holder, maybe a mud fender (prolly not) when i bought this 29er i didn't even think that finding cargo platform that goes over the rear wheel would be an issue, thinkin' i'll have to go to a specialty bike store to find one of those (if they make em').

I wear spandex bike shorts that have padding built into them. It helps a lot

I already get a decent amount of butt swet, i would think thick bike shorts would add to the problem. Unless the pad is like a stinky maxi-pad i suppose.
Plus then i'd be one of those guys that wears tight black bike shorts, naaah.
Is an idea tho.

^Nice bike, i don't know much about them but i like the looks of that one. Hard to tell, it's a Kona?
Side note i've noticed, my chain pops off more often then i think it should. I havn't looked too hard at it yet, there's a way to tighten it yea?
O yea, nice back drop too. Mt Rainier lookin' good

The Downhill. Apparently it's a frame design that never made it to full production.. I've been trying to do trials tricks with her but she's heavy.

The Road. My dad picked up the pieces of his Lemond I crashed and built this...

"Side note i've noticed, my chain pops off more often then i think it should. I havn't looked too hard at it yet, there's a way to tighten it yea?" move the back tire back a little...and they have tools to remove links and move the tire forward a little....

Riding up from Key West was head wind the whole way up. I love being able to cover 80 miles with all my gear for days.

Head wind, ugh, little bites man, just keep spinning. That looks like a gorgeous ride, awesome they have a trail/bike lane the whole way.
