Rash on my leg

General
21

hey, I’m 14 too and had the same problem

If I’m going to be riding for at least 30 min I will put on biking shorts (yes with padding) under athletic shorts

Also before I put the biking shorts on I rub chamois butt’r in the padding of the shorts (vasaline also works) http://www.unicycle.com/Shopping/shopexd.asp?id=388

I know the biking shorts can be uncomfortable but they get less noticeable as you ride more and they are a lot better than chafing, which is, IMO, just what you have(though a bad case)

hope this helps

If its actually itchy then it isn’t just chaffing and bike shorts won’t solve the problem.

sounds like you got herpes on your leg, Its a shame it got you so soon :astonished:

once the caluses build up on your nuts you should be fine

yeah I had the same problem when I first started. I had a crappy torker cx seat which was terrible, after just a few days of riding I had no hair left on my inner thighs lol. I upgraded to a nimbus get seat and I haven’t had a problem since

Hair?

Does hair on the leg where you get rashes make it worse? I have only been riding two days, and after 30 min its starting to burn and making me want to stop for the day… But i cant give up! :frowning:

I haven’t experienced a rash myself, but I can say everyone on a unicycle deserves to treat themselves to a pair of bike shorts. I found a pair that are a cross between boxers and cycling shorts, they fit under anything and get rid of chaffing. The padding feels nice too. What kind of seat do you have?
