ABSTRACT:
An improved molded leather bicycle saddle is provided with a carefully designed slot between the nose of the saddle and the rear of the seat portion. The slot has a circular area at the front of the saddle nose, converges slightly then diverges to a middle area before the saddle widens into the seat area. In alternative embodiments, each suited to a different rider type, the slot then converges to a triangular shape, a narrow line or a “T” shaped area. In preferred embodiments, the saddle is reinforced with a leather lamina layer bonded to the underside of the saddle to increase life and retain support. The slot, in some embodiments, may extend through the lamina layer.
