I realize This comes a little late. However, if you search "hornless bicycle saddle" or "noseless bicycle saddle", you will find many different styles and manufactures. The drawback to these saddles is that riding without your hands on the bars is next to impossible because there is no protruding saddle for the thighs to grip against.

The seat that came with my bike causes discomfort to a special area of my body. I have heard that indeed racing cyclists have few children.

There seems to be conflict between Aero Dynamics and Ergonomics in that a low riding position is important for lessening wind resistance. This position seems to load the hands and arms too much and the other point of contact with the contraption seems to ensure it more of a contraception.

I cycle for the quietude, gentle exercise and to ease my eco mind. But I find that after 3 -4 klm I'm endangering myself. Has anybody seen a bike seat for the standard form of bike that does not aggravate the base of the xxxxxx I looked it up perineum. Seriously. Chip, any suggestions

From what I can gather and understand about basic combustion, the minimum gap is there to provide a steady combustion. Think of the gap as the exhaust pipe on an automobile. If the exhaust pipe is not fully open, the engine runs "sloppy" as back pressure is created. If it is completely blocked, the engine snuffs itself out. The same holds true for a rocket stove and any furnace. Of course I am only using knowledge I gained while growing up burning wood for heat in a commercial wood furnace as well as automobile knowledge.

A simple answer. Steel drums are inexpensive, available in many countries and requires minimal time and skill to setup. The steel drum is also efficient for immediate radiant heat transfer. Whereas brick acts as thermal mass to store and slowly dissipate heat over a period of time.

The 2" gap is part of what creates the draw. The other parts are the length of the height of the feed channel, the burn chamber and the height of the exhaust channel. In a nutshell; the shorter the exhaust channel, the greater the gap. However, you do want a lengthy exhaust channel as that is where the draft begins. The basic furnace\fireplace operates on a pull system, not a push system.
