So I am riding my by bike on the trainer the other night, after about 30 minutes or so I sit upright to towel off a bit and adjust the unit. I reach down and it is 100%, absolutely numb...no feeling at all. I kind of slide around on the saddle a bit until I can feel some blood flowing around down there, but that position felt kind of uncomfortable. When I would move back into a comfortable position the numbness would return. I was just wearing triathlon shorts with a thin fleece pad, but now that I think about it I've kind of felt the same in my regular cycling shorts as well, I just hadn't "confirmed" the numbness before.
I don't have a lot of miles on this bike, only about 30, but I have other bikes where this is not a problem. Could this problem be fixed by a new seat, or is it a whole bike fit issue? Needless to say it is a little scary.
