I was so relieved to read this. I spent months trying to sit on the school saddle so it didn't draw blood. I couldn't even pass urine properly after a lesson. (I equated it to trying to ride a mountain bike with a male saddle and handlebars too far away). Eventually I learned to sit on my tailbone. My seatbones didn't come into the equation being suspended in mid air. I found them when I rode corrie. Sue Coombes
