Actually pushing a beginner is not a bad thing. Most beginners underestimate how far they can go and at the same time it teaches them to save their energy on long rides(HAHA!). The seat thing is a personal thing, not everyone has an issue with that. And even with the cushioned seat you will hurt your ass.

But how they continue to ignore that horrible bike is beyond me. Maybe 3rd ep is 3 girls taken into custody for kouhai ijime.

Taking someone on a 35 mile trip when they've brand new to biking and not even in shape is a little beyond that.  I don't see how that's a smart thing.  Personally, I would have been pissed off.

As far as the seat goes, the others are experienced enough to know that the bike she's using is going to be more uncomfortable over long distances.  The ergonomics of the bike and the effects that has on her posture, plus the frame and wheels mitigating less impact, make that easy to see.  Her rear was obviously going to suffer.

I don't see a problem with taking a beginner on long rides. It's not a marathon or climbing mount everest. It's riding a bike with the option to go as slow as possible or even stop and just go home. If you had a breakfast and know how to not overexert yourself there really isn't any difference between a 10km ride and a 50km tour.
