ABSTRACT:
A bicycle saddle for seating a bicycle rider includes a shell, foam padding, leather cover, a suspension rail, and a seating surface including right and left sides, divided by a substantially V-shaped open surface extending from a rear edge of the saddle forwardly, and a longitudinal depression extending from the apex of the V-shaped open space forwardly to the anterior portion of the saddle. The right and left sides of the saddle thereby provide laterally spaced apart left and right posterior support surfaces for supporting the right and left ischeal tuberosities of the bicycle rider, respectively.
