The seat includes a mount in the form of a pair of parallel and spaced apart mounting members. A pair of a support members extend upwardly and rearwardly in relation to the respective mounting members for supporting a pair of annular seat members thereon which support the buttocks of the rider. The support members and seat members supported thereon are movable relative to the mounting members between flexed and unflexed positions.
