Still slightly uncomfortable due to me not having anything really in the area of "natural padding". But quite doable, not really a problem and not the bike's fault.
Also re-discovering that riding a bike takes more concentration than driving my soccer-mom small Kia SUV. Can't sightsee as much; have to keep from wandering in my lane and monitor intersections more carefully, plus all the up- and downshifting. Much more involving and therefore more rewarding.

Its still easy to zone out, especially on long stretches. There's some state highways I'll take that are 55mph, and I find myself having to snap out of it.
Even driving cars it's the best idea to remain attentive.
