Abstract

A saddle for peddle operated devices such as bicycles, tricycles, stationary bikes comprises a pair of rider supports sized to support the regions of the ischium and upper femur of the rider, each rider support being pivotally mounted to a normally horizontal mounting member (i.e., an “axel”) so as to provide a limited amount of free tilting movement about a common axis of rotation thus enabling unobstructed pedaling motion of the legs. The unique curvature of the rider supports allows the rider to maintain contact with the seat during a peddling cycle (rather than being thrown forward), maintain orientation of the rider's sit bones above the rider support axis of rotation during the peddling cycle and keep the rider's hips in balance during the peddling cycle.
