ABSTRACT:
A bicycle saddle includes a frame including an upper side on which first and second paddings are mounted and an under side on which a suspension rail is mounted for mounting the bicycle saddle on a bicycle. The frame further includes a compartment defined between the first and second paddings. An elastic element is received in the compartment and includes side edges which form edges of the bicycle saddle. A cover snugly fitted over the first and second paddings and the elastic element includes two spaces, whereby when a rider's pelvis bears on the bicycle saddle, the sides edges of the elastic element can extend outward of the spaces, respectively, for reducing pressure against the rider's pelvis.
