I wanted to kill 2 birds with one stone. I bought the $89 NEXT POWER X 26" dual suspension mountain bike (haha...NO mountains in New Orleans) and it's original seat was like sitting on a chipped up brick! Although the previous reviewer stated how it can become wet and dry quickly, there are covers, as well as GEL covers that could add comfort (and water resistance). The 7 red LED's are quite bright, although they simply flash on and off and not side to side, which is fine. Unlike other add on rear "blinkies", this one is "turn it on and forget it"! SAVES battery life with motion sensor. If you leave it on, you never have to worry about forgetting to have turned it on. When parked, it stops, when moving it flashes! GREAT product! Perhaps hit it with SCOTCH-GUARD and it will be "water repellent" as well! :)
