We don't lovingly call them wedgies for nothing.
If you want one, get one.

But get one that fits properly so your niggling complaints are
eliminated.

At the East Van Chopper Fest, riding both bent and upright stationary
generators, my output and comfort were greater on the uprights.

Endurance on the bent was limited by how long it took before my bum
got numb.

On the wedgie it was easier to stand on the pedals and dance to the
tunes we were cranking. That way I could work out my shoulders,
wrists, hands, neck, etc.
