new rider here, I have an avocet seat and I am not sure if I am not sitting
right or seat height is wrong, but with a few days of biking my rear is so
sore?? I use the bike for regular transportation, not just recreational. so
padded biking shorts is not an option.



(I am sure some smart a** is going to rip on me)
