ABSTRACT:
A seat adapted for use on a bicycle has a major rump supporting portion and a central sagittal portion adapted to underlie the perineum of the occupant. A cantilevered portion extends forwardly from the sagittal portion and has sides parallel to and spaced by the sagittal plane to facilitate orientation by the occupant of his position on the seat and to provide leverage for the thighs to facilitate readjustment of his position and balancing of himself and the vehicle. The major rump supporting portion terminates forwardly along a pair of complex curves extending laterally from the sagittal portion to the opposite forward edges of the major rump supporting portion, each curve conforming to the overlying physiological curve of the occupant between the buttock and the posterior portion of the thigh to provide uninterrupted support for the major forward portion of the buttock.
