My bike seat is spinning?

Regina

Hi. I bought a bike recently and today while I was riding it, the seat began to turn back and forth. I opened up the little bolt that you adjust the seat with and re-tightened it, and the seat still moves. Thanks for any help.

Answer
Try tightening the bolt on the seat it self, it may be lose there instead of where the seat post connects the frame.

uncomfortable exercise bike seat?

HelpMe

I recently bought an upright exercise bike from Walmart (Gold's gym power spin 210). It is incredibly uncomfortable and I would like to know if there is a way of replacing the seat with another one, kind of like a universal exercise seat that will fit on my bike? Thanks!

Answer
It looks like it is a proprietary seat and seat post from looking at the manual. You can try to keep riding and it will get better once you get use to it. Everyone has to go through butt training when they first start riding a bike even if they rode the whole summer before and took the winter off. You can try a gel seat cover or just use a piece of 1 inch foam. Raise the saddle high enough so that your leg is straight with the heel of you foot is over the center of the pedal and a slight bend with the ball of your foot in the same place.

Take shorter rides until you get use to it.
