Cycletouring in Ireland

Opinions are like bums, everyone has got one, and if you are a cyclist your rear-end is going to send an awful lot of time on a saddle. Maybe that's why this vital piece of equipment polarises cycling opinion so much and, it has to be said, Brooks leather saddles are at the cutting edge of the debate.
Well I for one think these saddles are great and I have never found them uncomfortable, even when new. I guess that makes be a hard-job - or more accurately a hard-arse - but each to their own.
