| Surgery due to a rare form of bone cancer took me off of my bike. Riding on a conventional bike seat became a complete impossibility, whereas the thought of giving up riding altogether was not an option. RealSeat put me back on the road and I’m grateful for every mile. Rick |
| Cheryl P. - Fort Morgan, CO - Huffy 'West Coast Chopper' |
| I am so excited about my RealSeat on my West Coast Chopper. I thought my biking days were through, I just could not understand why bike seats had to have a nose. This caused me such extreme pain. Three days after I installed the RealSeat on the Chopper, I had to have one for my Specialized. The trick to feeling the comfort of the seat is to find the position in which the strong leg muscles can provide the powerful push at the end of the stroke. An extra perk: now my aging dog can ride along on my lap since I am basically just sitting in a lawn chair!!!! Cheryl |
| David H. - Grand Blanc, MI - Schwinn 'Aerodyne' |
| To say that I am extremely happy with my new bike seat from RealSeat would be an understatement. I never thought I would be able to ride my exercise bike again due to the pure torture of the standard saddle style seats that I kept trying over and over again. I had even tried to make my own seat a few times with little success. I was just about to throw in the towel and get rid of my bike when I discovered your website, realseat.com. These seats looked like they made perfect sense...taking the pressure off my "sensitive area" and putting it where it belongs, like you're sitting in a directors chair. Now I can ride for long periods of time without being in agony. Thank you so much for your ingenious design and dedication to helping people get back on their bikes. I would recommend this seat to anyone who is interested in a truly comfortable and affordable seat. THANK YOU !! Dave H. |

| I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the rush order. I just received my RealSeat today and put it on my bike and went riding. I haven’t ridden that far in a long time, not to forget that forever without my posterior, or should I say my butt hurting. This has got to be the best thing for bicycles in a very long time. I will be telling all my friends about it, and hopefully they will buy it and enjoy riding again. Thanks again. Sincerely, Roderic R. |

| Here's my little cruiser. I love the seat it's the most comfortable seat I've ever sat on! Every one asks me about the seat and I give them your web site. Thanks Ralph |
| Dan & Teresa - Tempe, AZ - Phat Cycle 'Sea Breeze' |
| Teresa and I would like to thank you. Teresa loves her seat. She can now ride her bike with minimal discomfort. Regular bicycle seats just don't work for her. While yours is at least semi comfortable. She says it rubs a little on her legs at the edge, but I tell her to suck it up and that no seat is going to be perfect. It's still a 1,000% better than her regular seat though. So it was well worth every penny, so we can enjoy riding together and she's not in traction by the end of our ride. Thanks Dan & Teresa |

| Steve M. - Placentia, CA - Electra 'Townie' |
| I just received the seat on Thursday. The seat "is" made for the Townie. The navy blue color is perfect. Friday my wife and I rode about four miles stopping to make adjustments in the seat height and angle. Saturday we did about six miles and the seat did what I had hoped for. It relieved the pressure in the groin area which had been resulting in what I call "numb nuts" literally, and moved the bulk of my weight out towards my hip area. I much prefer this as it is not uncomfortable and my weight is spread out over a larger surface area and no more "N Ns". When I say "bulk" I mean it as I tip the scale at 260 which is why I chose your largest seat. I have tightened the cover twice. Since this is your widest seat there is more material to stretch and more material to sag. I need to keep the cover tight as I just barely clear the seat clamp when sitting on the seat. I think this would less likely on the smaller seats as there is less material from side to side to sag and the user wouldn't be as beefy as me. The seat is very well made and is the most comfortable I have tried which include a horned seat with a hole in the middle, a hornless seat, and a two piece side to side adjustable hornless seat in addition the original seat. I am very happy! Thanks, Steve |

After two weeks of rides, including long distance weekend rides,
here is the result:
- Comfort: Superb - It needs just a little adjustment of the seat for correct
angle, that's it.
- Balance: Surprisingly good, I feel more secure on the bike and turn the
corners easier than before (another surprise!).
- Riding Performance: My performance is better with realseat. It boosted my
energy. I don't know why, maybe due to comfortable and easy riding
position.
- Hills: I climb easier. I think comfortable riding position helps. Good balance
also helpful for downhills/curves. I feel safer and turn the curves easier.
Comfort, balance and easier climbing/descending issues are really impressive.
I think it's a real revolution!
Thanks very much RealSeat! Bulent

| MY SEAT |
| Southern Taiwan |
| Good design and easy to install seat on the bike. It is a "Real Seat" and very comfortable but it takes some times to use to it. There are so many people looking this bike seat in one of the small town in the Southern Taiwan. Even some people use camera to take pictures. It's totally difference experience. |
| John B. - Fernandina Beach, FL - Komda Folding Bike |
| I have used my Real Seat for three weeks now and I am very pleased. It has made a great difference for me. I had significant back surgery a short time ago and may be facing a second round in the near future. As a result of my back, the only two exercises I can participate in are swimming and bike riding. Neither seem to bother my back. Unfortunately those saddle seats attacked my derrière such that I could neither ride for any period of time or comfortably walk after dismounting. The RealSeat allows me to comfortably ride almost indefinitely and when dismounting, it is no different than standing up from sitting in a chair. I have included a picture of my bike, a 20 inch folding bike which is large enough for me to ride, yet does not present a need to raise my leg a great distance to get on. Your RealSeat is a great invention. I show it off to everyone. John B. |

| After a 20 year hiatus from cycling, I decided to get back on the wagon again. I bought the cheapest good bike that I felt would last...however, my bottom didn't survive the soreness from the traditional bicycle seat. I needed something better, and figured the best seat was one that looked like a real seat (no pun intended). I ordered the biggest RealSeat (the RS-22 in Navy-Blue). The first ride was definitely more comfortable than the traditional seats, but I had to fine-tune the height and tilt adjustments to get the most out of it. After a few rides of an hour each, I can say it's the most comfortable bicycle seat you'll ever find. The pressure is spread out along your bottom instead of being concentrated in the middle. You do feel a little pressure on the back of your thigh but a proper seating position minimizes it. I tilt my seat a little upwards so that I don't slide off it. If you tighten the nuts properly, the seat doesn't rotate in normal use, though if you hit one side of it (ie. banging the Realseat against a door frame), the seat will move. The construction is really good, with excellent fit and finish. Tightening the fabric is easier than I thought. Because the two belts underneath the seat have a texture to them, pulling the belts moves them one textured notch at a time, and if you let go, it doesn't release the stretch (unless you open up the metal clips). The fabric is nice and thick, and should wear really well. You can clean it with water and a cloth. The RealSeat name on the back of the seat reflects light at night (though of course you should be using a bicycle light). I'd recommend getting a cable lock (in addition to a U-lock) so that you can lock up the RealSeat as well as the frame and wheels, because the seat looks expensive and desirable. Cheers! Rand. |

| UPDATE |
| Had to write to tell you how pleased I am with my real seat. It has been 18 months and some 2500 miles since I purchased my RealSeat and as you can see from the picture it is still as good as new and because of the comfort of the seat, I am still riding 6-8 miles a day. John B. |

"Extra WIDE Bike Seats for Pain Free Comfort & Relief"
| Russ B. - Valencia, Spain - BH 'London' |
I am 52 years old. I have been an avid cyclist for more than 25 years, riding thousands of
miles a year. Nearly two years ago I had some health problems that precluded me from
riding my bike. At that time I weighed 175 pounds (I’m 5’9’’)
I now weigh 213 pounds, thanks to not being able to ride my bike. I have been asking my
doctor, “When can I get on my bike again?” for the last year and finally in the last three
months, begging him to let me get on my bike again. He finally said “OK” but I would have to
start slow on an indoor trainer. I didn’t care as long as I could ride again.
I jumped on my bike the same day! When I did I found, after about 4 or 5 minutes my entire
groin area as well as my butt began to fall asleep and hurt a lot. This, I suppose was due to
my weight gain and the type of seat I was using. I decided right away to look for an
alternative type of seat. I started surfing the net because here in Spain where I live there are
very few alternatives, if any. I stumbled upon your website. I am very glad I did!!!
Now about the “Real Seat”; I order it and received it in eight days (very fast from the U.S. to
Spain) When I opened it, I immediately noticed the strong construction and the high quality
of materials. It was much lighter than I thought it would be.
I mounted it and adjusted it and got on it. I cannot describe how comfortable it is. It is like
sitting in a lawn chair. It reminds me of the type of seats that are on recumbent bikes. I
started pedaling (I had to adjust it slightly a few times before I got it right) and I rode for 20
minutes for the first time in nearly two years. I had NO pain, NO falling asleep groin, NO
discomfort of any kind! What I did have, was a smile on my face!
This is the best seat ever! It is not only great for people like me, but anyone who wants to
ride a bike without pain and discomfort. I would highly recommend it to anyone!! Now, I will
be able to ride my bike in complete comfort and regain my health.
I don’t know who invented this seat, but I would love to shake that persons hand and thank
them very much! Thanks to them I will be able to enjoy one of the passions of my life again.
One more thing, if you ever find yourself in Valencia Spain, let me know! I'd be glad to show
you around and of course we'll go by bike! Valencia is the perfect place to ride! It's flat and
the weather is ALWAYS GREAT! Thank you Russ B.

Attached to this email are several shots of my Schwinn Three-Wheel Trike, Meridian Model
and outfitted with your invention, the Real Seat Bicycle Seat model RS22 which I absolutely
love. I consider it to be a true "Godsend". Thank you ever so much for your creativity in your
conception of the properly named "RealSeat". Then it was a stroke of genius to develop
your idea, produce a prototype and market your product... Bravo!
I can without reservation, say that everything in your advertisement has turned out to be
exactly as you said it would be. The result of your design has provided me with hours of
extremely welcome pain free riding and No, you may Not have it Back! (lol)
This past Thursday I had my routine quarterly medical health checkup which was the first I
have had since getting my RealSeat. When Dr I. Lyman Mitchell, my physician of more than
30 years, came into the examination room the first thing he said was, "I've been checking
your blood numbers and they are outstandingly good, especially your blood sugar." I am
diabetic and my A1C reading had been 7.4 (high) and Thursday it was 6.9, which in the
acceptable range. So, by being able to ride regularly, longer with no pain is rewarding me
with improved health and that's something for which i am especially grateful to God and
thankful to RealSeat! Sincerely Yours, Aubrey G.
