Welcome, cycling sisters! Thank you for your interest in contributing to this project.

My name is Alissa and I'm a bicycle traveler, bikepacker, and cyclist. Last year I wrote a simple resource for women trying to solve their saddle soreness issues and have been shocked by how much interest it's received. There are so many women out there trying to cycle without pain!

This realization inspired me to create a more comprehensive resource based on the experiences of as many female cyclists as possible. My goal is to uncover patterns in the data to help women find saddle pain solutions based on their individual characteristics.

If you would like to be part of this project, please complete this anonymous survey. It's open to anyone who rides a bike and considers themselves to be of the female sex.

The survey has 5 sections and should take around 15-20 minutes. All questions are optional and you can skip any you don't wish to answer, but the more you answer the more helpful it will be. Some questions are rather personal; that's just part of the bike saddle conversation, so please don't be offended. :)

Please consider sharing this survey with your female cycling friends and social networks. The more data we can collect, the easier it will be to find patterns and draw helpful conclusions.

To see the original post that inspired this project, or to get in touch or follow along as results are collected, please visit https://exploringwild.com/bicycle-saddle-pain-women/.

This survey is easiest to fill out on a full-size computer screen instead of a mobile device.
