Default The most comfortable bike model

What is the most comfortable bike to buy for a leisurely ride? Total comfort is not just in the bike seat, is it? Would it not depend on the size and make, the handlebars, the pedals, etc? I may be wrong.

I guess a lot would depend upon where you were going to ride. I find mountain bikes to be comfortable. The tires are wider and with the suspension, they tend to have a slightly softer ride than some bikes. But regardless of what type you get, a gel seat can add a lot to your overall comfort.

Modern bike seats are just awful IMHO. I have a seat on my bike rescued from an ancient "coaster" bike that has springs and some actual padding on it. With that and a gel cover it's fairly comfortable.

Not exactly high performance...but neither am I!
