I got padded bike shorts and have been using the Peloton for less than a week. Is it always going to be like this?

No, it gets better quickly! You can try a gel padded seat if you want to but if it's tolerable I'd recommend sticking it out.

Mine stopped hurting by about the 10th ride. It gets better quickly.

Yes, mine finally stopped on the 10th ride, but that is with padded biker shorts on too, lol.

Great! That should make the rides more enjoyable!

 

[De1ta]

Yes I should have mentioned I use padded shorts as well.

i have been riding 4-5 times per week, 20-30 minutes at a time, for a month. no improvement in pain. 20 minutes is just about ok, but after the 20 minute mark becomes almost unbearable.

Oh My- I was embarrassed to admit this but It HURTS. I see 10 rides is the magic number as well as padded seats or shorts. I get 20 minutes and have severe chaffing. Again like the sore knee issue I wait a couple days to heal before riding again. What it looks like is if I'm going to do this I need to invest in some padding. More Doughnuts and Nachos for me.
