It's All About the Bike (2010)
“On the Rivet The Saddle Truth hurts. Maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle witha seat missing, but it hurts.
(Leslie Nielsen, Naked Gun 2½) There are three contact points between rider and bicycle: hands/ handlebar, feet/pedals and backside/saddle. Their order of importance depends largely on how dedicated a cyclist you are. Ride 100 miles with an avid cyclist and he may complain a little about pain in his wrists or ankles; ride 10 miles with a novice and he will bellyache about his backsid...e until he’s had three pints and a bag of pork rinds. Nothing kills the joy of a bicycle ride like saddle-sore. It’s the most common complaint in cycling and there’s a good case for the inclusion in the English language of an intransitive verb that describes the precise condition: to buttache — v.i. (slang) to complain whiningly about saddle-sore from riding a bicycle.
A universal truth of bicycling is this — pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Pro cyclists hurt badly too. They just don’t buttache about it.MoreLess
