And here is one the other way around – I miss my brooks B17 so badly when I ride my newer bike. I’m buying another . I think a lot depends on your particular backside.

Here's one. There is a very well broken in Brooks on the Motobecane LeChampion I've been riding the hell out of since 1976. Fearing for my beloved Motobecane's safety alone in the bike racks all day, I recently bought an inexpensive Fuji for commuting that came with a generic lightly padded channel-top "Fuji" plastic saddle. Wow - it's just so much more comfortable, wish I would've made that discovery years ago.

It's not like you meet leather saddled riders that want to go back to anything else. I had a 5'6", 300# friend that had this HUGE padded seat, with a sheepskin besides. He had to ride mine one day (obviously not broke in for him) and even he had to admit that it was surprisingly comfortable.

Rick drew it very well, particularly in the last frame. I can make out the front dynamo hub, the bell, lights, rack - even the lack of chainguard. I even see the air pump attachment - but no pump. I'm guessing that Rick normally rides around without the pump. I also ride around without the pump, since my Pashley's Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres have never, ever got a puncture. Even the style of rear rack was drawn with detail - I can see the bungee cords in the last frame. It was great fun comparing the bike in the photo with the bike drawn in the last frame of today's comic. Thank you, Rick!
