I'm about 5'10 220 pounds and every weekend I bike about 65 or more miles. This seat makes riding the rough streets of New York so much more enjoyable. Before I found this seat my rear and back would be aching during and long after the ride. It is much heavier than the stock seat that came with the my Scott Sub 20 but its well worth it. I tried many other padded seats, this one may not be the lightest but I feel that it is the most comfortable.The large springs in the back of the seat makes it very hard to impossible to attach a seat bag.
