ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for a bicycle seat (3) which is comfortable to use, especially for long distance riding, and supports a rider's buttocks without imparting soreness to the crotch, is described. This apparatus comprises a multi-layered cylindrical seat bar (10). This bar is fabricated from a rigid tubular member (11) which is surrounded by a concentric layer of resilient cushioning material (12) and then by a durable covering (14). The seat bar is mounted to the bicycle in a direction substantially transverse to the frame of the bicycle so that the seat bar abuts against and spans the entire width of the rider's buttocks (44) and does not contact the crotch (43) of the rider whenever the rider sits on the bicycle. Various different embodiments of the bicycle seat are disclosed herein.
