I have put a 20 miles on this seat. The only downfall I have seen are the way the seat forcess you to be closer to the handle bars. There is no real way to adjust this. What I finnaly did was to just tilt the seat more forward then I would have thought you were supposed to( and against the advice of schwinn) and the ride is great. I had had surgery to my umm (well you know) and this seat has allowed me to continue riding.I will say that due to the riding position be ready to have more of an arm workout then you are used to when riding. I dont mind it really but my hands do suffer on long rides.One person commented that they felt a lack of control. I have not felt this at all and feel fully in control when I ride. Mind you I am doing downhill mountian biking. I am riding rough rodes 18 miles eah way to work.
