Butt Stuff is a practical, research-informed guide to cycling saddle comfort, skin health, and injury prevention-written for riders who are tired of being told pain is "just part of the sport."
Combining lived experience with evidence-based insight, this book explains why saddle discomfort happens, how anatomy, friction, pressure, and moisture interact, and what riders can realistically do to improve comfort without gimmicks, shame, or medical overreach.
Designed for endurance cyclists, gravel riders, triathletes, and recreational athletes alike, Butt Stuff covers common issues such as saddle sores, chafing, numbness, skin irritation, and hygiene challenges, while offering clear, actionable strategies for prevention and recovery.
With a straightforward tone and a focus on longevity rather than suffering, this guide helps athletes stay on the bike longer, train smarter, and make informed decisions about their bodies-without pretending discomfort is a badge of honor.
