Keep your ear close to the tracks if you're in the business of selling goods and services to triathletes. If you do, your company will talk to you. One message you'll get, loud and clear, is that triathletes need comfort while aboard their tri bikes. This isn't an oh-by-the-way message. It's a "we-need-comfort-now!" message.
Unfortunately, a lot of those in the business aren't listening to what their companies are telling them. But your comfort is not simply their responsibility, but your own as well. To that end, you may have noted what we wrote last month, the link to which is at the bottom of this page, and it referred to the differences between position problems, point tenderness, and friction. These are the three causes of discomfort while riding. Friction, that's one that's been overlooked. To that end, the issue of chamois cream was broached.

Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring. –Desmond Tutu
