Pedal-charged bicycle seat warmer?

that’s what my butt is supposed to be

it’s because your butt is the best-insulated part of your body. (not trying to offend, it’s true. same for me.) my butt is often cold to the touch… the fat keeps the heat in and the cold on the surface. it’s especially noticeable if you’ve been sitting on something cold, but being all exposed to the wind and the not-warm air, it gets cold. and the muscles underneath don’t warm it up nearly as efficiently as they do, say, your legs, or your arms.

haha, yeah i understand the physiology behind it. i’m just posting it because it will never stop being funny to me. it’s hilarious to be having to peel the sweaty wet clothes off as i’m getting ready to hop in the shower and then be surpised by an ice cold bottom.

My ex used to complain about this very thing. I would climb into bed next to him after my bike ride home from work and I would try to warm up my cold butt by snuggling in next to him. It never worked because he would push me (and my chilly booty) away to the other side of the bed. That’s why he’s my ex.

lame! good that you’re rid of him.

i think i need a feel of the cold butt to give proper input.

unfortunately, i won’t be in seattle this weekend to test it out. stupid manager meeting

oh don’t worry, it gets cold every time it rains.
