Disclaimer: I'm a guy. This is why I switched to riding recumbent bikes.

Towards the 'end' of my previous riding lifestyle, I could only be in the saddle for 10 minutes before excruciating pain and numbness (I don't know how pain & numbness can happen together; but they did.) would force me to walk. And this was during a stage of my life where I was riding 50km daily, and 100+kms every weekend.

Now, I can ride for 12hrs and the only thing sore are my muscles from the workout.

I also switched to recumbent for the same reason. 5 years of chronic pelvic pain that I would not wish on anyone.
