Abstract

A bicycle seat assembly (10) having a functional surface area comprising a main support surface region (24) and a center tactile surface region (26). At the center tactile surface region there is a raised center surface portion (44) and outwardly facing side tactile surface portions (46) to engage upper rear and side thigh surface portions of the person. There are right and left and primary support zones spaced on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis (34) to support the right: and left ischial-tuberosities of the person who is in a seated pedaling position. The forward support surface portions on opposite sides of the center tactile surface region are contoured so that the leading edge thereof has an upward and rearward slope. The seat is arranged to accommodate 95 % of the adult population in the U.S., and enables the cyclist to operate effectively in the seated pedaling mode, the seated non-pedaling mode and the stand-up pedaling mode.
The seat provides proper support and hygienic safety by alleviating a load bearing relationship between the lower center body portion with the seat and yet providing for clearance, mobility, and comfort for the person.
