For long - distance rides, take breaks occasionally to relieve pressure. When it comes to maintenance, keep the saddle clean. You can use a mild soap and water to wipe it down regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the padding or the surface. Check the rails and the attachment points regularly for any signs of wear or looseness. If you notice any issues, tighten the bolts or replace the parts if necessary. Also, store the bike in a dry place to prevent rust and damage to the saddle.
