      you need a new saddle prolly.

      people have the wrong size/shape saddles all the time. everyone’s buttprint is different.

      most OEM saddles are terrible, they are designed for the ‘average’ person who is like 5’8" and 150lbs

          commuting isn’t long distance riding like you’d do on a road bike. unless your commute is 2 hours each way.

          my typical road bike ride is 3-6 hours.

            I hadn’t ridden a bike for like 4 years when I hopped back on, so even just doing 5 miles each way had my ass feeling like OPs picture for a week before I got used to being back in the saddle.
