ABSTRACT:

This invention relates to a bicycle seat.
More particularly, the invention relates to a bicycle scat which comfortably supports a bicycle rider without creating pressure on the perineum when the rider is in any of several different positions on the bicycle seat.
In a further respect, the invention relates to a bicycle seat which comfortably supports a bicycle rider when he is in an upright seated touring position with his weight shifted to the rear, when he is in a performance position with his weight shifted forward on the medial portion of the seat, and when he is in an extreme forward position on the seat during a sprint.
In another respect, the invention relates to a bicycle seat which is specifically shaped and dimensioned to enable a rider to assume several different riding positions in which the seat supports the rider without creating pressure on the rider's perineum.
A wide variety of bicycle seats are known in the art. There does not, however, appear to be a bicycle seat which is adapted to allow a rider to assume several different positions in which the seat supports the rider without creating pressure on the rider's perineum.
Accordingly, it would be highly desirable to provide an improved bicycle seat which would facilitate a bicycle rider's assuming several differing positions on the seat while avoiding the creation of undesirable pressure on the rider's perineum.
Therefore, it is a primary object of the invention to provide an improved bicycle seat.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved bicycle seat which permits a bicycle rider to sit in several different positions on the seat.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved bicycle seat which does not generate significant pressure on the perineum in any of the positions which a bicycle rider can assume on the seat.
