ABSTRACT:
A mounting for a bicycle saddle which allows lateral rocking with respect to a seat post. The mounting features a platform spaced apart from a shoe member by a cylindrical elastomer, with the platform and shoe member maintaining mutual contact through use of a pivot member. The pivot extends downwardly from the platform and fits into a toe portion of the shoe member, while a rearward heel of the shoe member seats the elastomeric cylinder. The forward pivot member allows rocking of the platform and seat, while the rearward elastomeric cylinder provides some shock absorption, depending upon tension placed on the cylinder. The shoe has a pair of rails on the underside with the same spacing and cross-sectional shape as seat rails. This allows the shoe to be fastened to a seat post with a conventional clamp. The same type of clamp is used for securing a bicycle seat to the upper side of the platform.
