What's your favourite saddle? Tell us in this week's People's Choice poll.
The most intimate of your bike's contact points, the comfort of a saddle can make or break your ride. If it's right, you might even forget it's there. If it's not, it will never stop reminding you, until eventually you have to bin it and find something comfier.
While saddles are intensely personal, there are some models that are nevertheless popular because a lot of people find them comfortable. Here's your chance to tell us exactly which they are.

We don't think this one will get many votes. (CC BY-NC 2.0 Peter Read/Flickr)
Here's how it works:
- Post a comment to nominate a product. Check it hasn't already been nominated. Add a link to the product wherever you can.
- Like a comment to vote for that product. Remember to like your own comment if you're nominating something.
- One comment per product. Any multiple comments will be deleted and their likes will not count towards a product's score. The first nomination will be the one that is counted.
- One product per comment. Otherwise the voting doesn't make any sense.
- Maximum 30 nominations per award. Once we hit 30 nominations we will close the nomination process.
- All votes will be counted up until the closing date. Votes after this may appear but will not be counted.
- We reserve the right to remove any comment at our sole discretion.
- Closing date is 10am, Wednesday, July 15.
Over to you!

It’s a thicker hide base, so takes a while to bed in and get comfortable, but I use mine daily and love it.
For longer mileages I prefer the Swift’s slightly less bulky form.

Currently on a Selle SMP extra. Very comfy perch, never felt any discomfort when atop of it.
The Selle SMP Extra is a step up again from my previous Prologo’s (Kappa & Nago X8) which where good i terms off comfort.
