What bicycle seat covers are best for recreational riding?

Recreational riders usually sit more upright. Their bikes might be cruisers, urban or commuter bikes. More padding and width with a flatter top is necessary to support your sitting bones. Look for the comfort and cushioned seat covers.

Are there bike seat covers specific for women?

Most covers are made unisex. But the pelvis bone that supports your weight is the biggest difference between men and women. Women have wider pelvis bones than men. Covers for women are usually made to increase comfort and support for those pelvic bones by being wider.

What types of cushioning for a bike seat cover?

Gel is considered the most comfortable and is waterproof but less durable. Foam is considered more supportive then gel and longer lasting but still provides comfort and shock absorption. They can be more expensive. Spandex is waterproof and affordable but its thinness doesn t provide much comfort.
