    What the heck do I do about my bike seat causing swelling in some pretty painful places?  I am training for a Tri, so I just slip on regular shorts over my swimsuit before riding.  Today I did 17miles and I have been in major pain.  One person at training suggested tilting my bike seat more forward / nose down, but other than that, tips?

      My bike is a fat tire hybrid I guess>>
     I hope to buy a road bike in the next 3-4 weeks, but that is 3-4 weeks of dealing with this, and I just don't know if I can take this pain.

    Invest in some tri shorts and chamois cream. The tri shorts will have a thin pad in them, put the chamois cream on the pad. Should make you feel better

    I have had bladder stones (from bike riding as per my urologist).  I had to get a special seat...It helps somewhat.  Below is something I posted a few months ago.  Just some ideas that I pulled off the internet...

    Another grab from the internet...No endorsement...But I may get something like these...
    Here's a list of manufacturers that are selling some of these ergonomic bike seats on the internet:

    1. Airbunz
    2. Specialized - Body Geometry Bike Saddles
    3. Spongy Wonder
