ABSTRACT:
The device relates to a bicycle seat structure, in which a seat frame is provided with a cut out portion on which a rubber resilient element is secured. The rubber resilient element includes a plurality of resilient strips connected with each other by web portions. It is secure to the seat frame by inserting the enlarged head portions formed on the ends of the resilient strips into the cavities disposed on the seat frame. This arrangement provides a soft, springy cushion for enhancing rider comfort. Moreover, open areas provided by a difference in thickness between the resilient strips and the web portions confers an excellent venting capability upon the seat structure, which avoids the buildup of heat in the contact area beneath riders' buttocks during riding.
