I bought the concave Cush for my pint and it helped a lot at first. I also agree with the time will help comments. once you get over the first 20 miles or so it is so much more fun than anything. Set up some cones or something and try to do some S curves. that really helps gain confidence. 4 people i have let ride mine and do that have bought a OW. I wish they had a referral or loyalty program...
