ABSTRACT:
A cycle saddle which accommodates for the movement of a rider's ischial tuberosities. In one embodiment, portions of the saddle substantially coinciding with the rider's ischial tuberosities yield to the downward movement of the ischial tuberosities to reduce the magnitude of the localized pressure concentrations in these areas. In another embodiment, the saddle has a portion which pivots transversely about the central, longitudinal axis of the saddle during the pedalling motion to account not only for the downward movement of an ischial tuberosity, but also for the associated upward movement of the other ischial tuberosity.
