How much do you weigh?
I only ask because even the most basic grasp of physics will illustrate that more weight on the same acreage of space increases pressure. If you weigh less than 18 stone and are taller than 5' 9", then your comment regarding your experience is a moot point.
FYI I used to be a courier many years ago, and cycled nearly all day 6 days a week and never had any saddle issues then. I'm much heavier now, so the weight is certainly more concentrated in a small area. I also cycle all the time now also, but only for commuting or visiting friends and so on. I never have neck pains, back pains, arms pains, leg pains. My positioning is very comfortable thank you.
