best bike seat
Bel gel releif bicycle seat has relieved problems caused by my old bicycle seat that I did not realize were being caused by it until recently. I hope to equiip any bike I get int the furure with this Bel seat. Howard

Fit well & my husband is happy with it
We aren't "sports" riders, just ride around town & some parks, but allows him to be comfortable for a few hour ride.

Bell has apparently changed the design of this seatpad (for the worse).
I first bought a Bell Gel Fusion + seatpad many months ago. I still have it and it's very comfortable. I just bought another one the other day since I let my nephew use mine because he just learned to ride, and it is quite a different seatpad than the first one. It seems identical, with the depression in the middle, but it would barely fit my bike seat after much stretching. It is also noticeably firmer than the first seat, particularly on the sides of the depression. This makes it uncomfortable. I don't know if Bell still sells the version I bought before (I bought the new one at Wal*Mart). I plan to try to find a used one that was made a couple of years ago or so.

Hated it!!
I bought this to use in Spin classes at the gym but experienced one of my most uncomfortable classes ever as a result. First, it barely fit on the seat. My primary complaint, however, is that the gel in the back half of the cover is quite a bit thicker than the gel in the front...this essentially put me on a slope. If I let go with one hand to grab my water or tried to sit up straight, the seat would essentially propel me forward -- my pelvis would tilt at an awkward angle and I'd have to grab onto the handles to keep from losing my balance. It wasn't too bad when I was leaning forward resting on the handles, but even then I had to be careful to not slide forward and down the slope of the seat cover. As far as I'm concerned, it was money wasted and I'll never use it again!! I'd rather go without a gel cover at all. Maybe I'll leave it at the gym and hope someone steals it.

Yes, it feels less painful for sure
Maybe I shouldn't have read other reviews before I purchased this.
I think I expected some kind of miracle out of this product.
It was not as great as I expected.
Honestly I did not feel must relief as other users felt at first, even though it was better than nothing.
And then about a month passed, now I'm starting to get used to it.
It's quite OK.
At the price of $13.99, I think it's quite OK.
It's not like riding a bike sitting on clouds, and yet, it feels much less painful.
I don't think I could ride my bike without it anymore.
