Even though it was just my first ride, I hate that seat. Picking up a pair of bike shorts might not be a bad idea.

Thanks for the reccomendations on instructors, the one I did first was Robin Arzon, but it'll be good to have a good mix of 20-30 minute rides I can do at lunch/in-between meetings.

I usually don't wear the shorts on 20 minute rides, but always do on 30 minutes. And most of the instructors once you get past the beginner classes are a good mix of sitting and standing, so it isn't crucial. Takes a week or two to get used to the seat, and it will soften up some over time.

Did you already get shoes? A lot of people hate on the Peloton shoes, and the price, so I ordered some from Amazon that work great and fit well. My feet aren't huge at a 10.5 shoe, but a little on the wide side so I searched for ones that were true to size and a little wider.

Your taint builds up a tolerance.

I hated it at first and bought shorts with padding, but now don't even notice the seat.

Congrats on the Peloton!
