How to assemble a comfortable bike seat?

Bicycles are often sold with small seats these days.
This is not suitable for us because the roadside is bumpy and uneven, and the bike lanes are sometimes hilly, plus there are speed bumps as well.
Today, the bicycle industry produces a wide variety of accessories, and they have even standardized some.
Thus, it is possible to rebuild the bicycle, including the seat.
Any of the accessories shown in the pictures provides some comfort, but together they are perfect.

The new seat:
- gel-padded, wide, ventilated seat cushion
- springs under the seat, like on old bicycles
- telescopic seat post
- clamp for tightening the seat post, making it easy to adjust the seat height


- gel-padded, wide, ventilated seat cushion


- springs under the seat, like on old bicycles


- telescopic seat post, the clamp on the post holds the bike lock cable


- telescopic seat posts are only available in a few sizes
- if the tube is wider, a sleeve can be added
- surprisingly, such options are available; for example, I needed 27.2-28.6


- this is what the original seat looked like


- this is a gel-padded short.

- available in several versions
- for example, there is a version for underwear, and you can wear pants over it
