Can you post a pic of your bike so I can get an idea of riding position?

It is the seat.
My back is fine the other things do not like that style of seat.
The front even seems to point upwards! Ouch.

I like the chopper .
use a Tractor style (legs together) or a wider Motorcycle (comfy couch) style.

Part of me thinks bicycle seats were designed for Women not Men.

The is a seat called a comfort seat, without the front uh, "nose" on it.

I have seen similar seats (Bell) at w-mart for around 20 bux.

Thanks Joe. I talked to Duane (dax) yesterday and he said that seat with the backrest is the most comfortable seat he has ever had. I think I might bite the bullet and get one. I like the fact it has a backrest. Its funny, this chopper is so low its like a recumbent bike.
