Joint-friendly - Health Benefit Of Cycling Workouts.
Cycling is low-impact, making it an effective workout that is easy on your joints. Cycling requires many of the same movements as running (and provides the same benefits) without the pounding and stress on your body. If you are like many individuals who do not enjoy running or crossfit style workouts because of knee or joint pain than cycling is for you. There is no jumping or pounding pavement involved with these programs and you still receive the same great benefits of those other workouts.
Cycling is less painful and less traumatic than the track, treadmill, stair stepper or elliptical machine and is often used as corrective exercise and rehabilitation training for those with stress injuries caused by running.
If you have arthritis and think you should pass on exercise, think again. With your doctor’s approval, cycling could be the key to lifting your energy level and your mood, as well as helping to protect your joints. When you cycle, you will be building up your leg muscles, and this helps support the knee joint. Stick to the seated and limited standing core movements. The jumps and some of the other more advanced movements can be tough on the knee joint.
Cycling improves strength, balance and coordination. It may also help to prevent falls and fractures. Riding a bike is an ideal form of exercise if you have osteoarthritis, because it is a low-impact exercise that places little stress on joints.
Cycling does not specifically help osteoporosis (bone-thinning disease) because it is not a weight-bearing exercise.
As Healthline points out, “A lifetime of walking, exercising, and moving takes a toll on your cartilage. The degeneration of cartilage can cause chronic inflammation in the joint.” Indoor cycling allows older adults to get a great heart workout without forcing them to exert too much pressure on fragile joints.

I used it on my recent century ride and my butt was comfortable the entire ride.
Was looking for a little cushioning for my sit bones on my road bike saddle, and this did the trick. Fits snugly on the saddle, doesn't slip or move around. Seems to provide more cushioning that gel covers I've seen. Very happy, so far!
Received my Komfy premium seat cushion today and immediately put it on my Peleton bike. Best purchase I've made in a long time (besides the bike). Can't wait to ride tonight and now my parents to use my bike when they need as well! Thank you Komfy!
Great seat cover! If you ride you know how uncomfortable the seat can become especially on those long rides. This seat cover is perfect. Stays in place very comfortable! This is NOT one of those crappy gel seat covers. I highly recommend this seat cover!!!
I recently bought a spin bike and instantly realized I could not sustain with the hard seat. The Komfy gel seats makes a huge difference.
Awesome cover! Saved my tush from the Peloton seat. 😊
Very happy with this purchase, really helps with comfort.
Great fit on my new peloton. Would definitely recommend.
My bum is super comfy now while riding my bike.
Definitely makes the bike seat more comfortable! Doesn’t slip around too much and is washable. As advertised!
I recently bought a Peloton and read on a blog that this seat cover was a must. This cover gives just the right amount of cushion without it being too soft. Fits on the peloton bike seat perfectly, although I have to remember to tighten it down before each ride or it ends up sideways! One of the best features is I can throw it in the washing machine, especially since my hisband and I both use it. That’s a lot of sweat!
Very pleased with this for our Peloton. Was concerned that would move around. No issue at all. Great product and arrived very fast.
This bike seat cover fits my Peleton bike perfectly and makes my ride more enjoyable! It has a terrific gel fill and is easy to wash!
Added much needed padding to my Peloton bike seat. Not very naturally padded on my backside so the extra padding from this bike seat cover is great. Very small footprint on the bike seat so it doesn’t feel bulky or uncomfortable while riding!!! Highly recommend.
This is a amazing bike seat cover seat for my Peloton! The cover stays were it should and doesn't move around while spinning. It is very comfortable and makes the Peloton seat bearable to sit on. Another important factor is the cover is machine washable and will not deteriorate from washing.
Makes the Peloton much more Komfy.
Needed some extra cushion for my Pelaton. I am very happy with my Komfy Seat Cover. It slipped right onto the seat and had a tightening adjustment. Highly recommend.
This cover made a big difference for Peloton rides.
LOVE this seat cover! We recently bought a stationary bike and I would be so sore after just 20 minutes of riding it that I would dread getting on it the next time. This seat cover is so great. I am now up to riding 45 minutes and am not sore at all afterwards thanks to this cover. If you are thinking of buying it, don’t hesitate, you’ll be glad you did.
Excellent seat cushion and extremely helpful and responsive customer service.! Recommend highly!
Really helped me break in my new Peloton! Thanks!
We recently purchased a Peloton spin bike and the seat was extremely uncomfortable. We were told it would take a few weeks to get used to the seat so I found this cover and since we’ve started using it, our bums haven’t hurt at all. Thanks Komfy!
The komfy seat cover is perfect. It has just enough cushion to make getting used to my new Peloton bike less painful. Worth every penny. Thank you!
So Komfy
