ABSTRACT:
A bicycle seat designed for optimized anatomical protection of a cyclist operating a bicycle having an upper seating surface adapted to incline from a lower forward portion, upward to an upper backward portion. The lower forward portion has an upward extending projection establishing a front catch for the gluteal fold region of the cyclist's buttocks. In addition, the bicycle seat includes a support having a forward frame member pivotally attached to a trailing beam that includes a first side extension and a second side extension coplanar with the first extension. The support provides reinforcement for a cushion including the upper seating surface and a stem portion which is aligned over the forward frame member. A channel, formed in the cushion, extends from the stem portion, flanked by a pair of elongate pads each having a front end and a rear end. One of the pair of elongate pads rests on the first side extension of the trailing beam with the other elongate pad positioned over the second side extension of the trailing beam. Each of the pair of elongate pads has a bulbous projection adjacent each of the front end and the rear end to provide anatomical protection for body parts of a cyclist resting on the bicycle seat.
