@NNN has a question about riding in an upright position:
Q2. When I try to ebike an hour each way using a Dutch/upright position on a sprung Brooks Flyer saddle, my bottom gets sore. But I can ride 2+ hours on a MTB or roadbike with hard saddle OK.
Any advice for getting comfy in an upright riding position?
A2. I wish I had a great answer for this, but instead, an observation: whatever our riding position, we're balancing weight between our feet, hands, and butt. Upright positions shift more weight onto your butt, and it's often harder to briefly stand up on the pedals on an upright bike to relieve that pressure (which is what we tend to consciously or unconsciously do on other bike styles).
