Abstract: An apparatus and method for supporting the rider of a pedaled device, such as a bicycle. One preferred apparatus includes first and second seat portions independently pivotable about a generally horizontal axis normal to a frame plane of the bicycle to allow, during bike pedaling, substantially unimpeded downward movement of the rear of the rider's upper-thighs, while the rider's buttocks remain free to contact the seat portions. The seat portions are preferably configured to jointly support the rider and to provide a gap for the rider's groin. The seat portions are preferably secured to the bicycle frame in a manner that allows adjustable lateral rotation in relation to the bicycle frame, further facilitating the rider's freedom of movement during pedaling.

A driver's seat (2) can be swivelled about an approximately vertical axis of rotation (D). In order to decrease the expenditure and space required for the driver's seat (2) to swivel, the driver's seat (2) can be swivelled in a clockwise direction from a normal position associated with the forward travel direction by an amount of at most 15 to 25 degrees, such as 15 to 20 degrees, such as about 17 degrees, into an oblique position associated with the reverse travel direction. The axis of rotation (D) of the driver's seat (2) can be in the region of the seat front edge, within the seat contour.

Abstract: In one form of the invention, a rounded bicycle seat is provided. The seat has no front pommel that is a significant factor in causing most pressure and pain to the crotch area of a rider. As such, the bicycle seat is designed to relieve numbness. In one embodiment of the current invention, the seat is provided with a rounded dome portion that minimizes or makes no contact with the crotch area of the rider when the bicycle seat is in use. Further, the seat may pivot in multiple directions in connection with the rider's movement, giving the rider proper coordination and alignment with the seat and the bicycle pedals. The seat is anatomically correct and provides support for the rider with a snug comfortable fit, while at the same time improves balance, flexibility and improves body strength with the least amount of friction and pain experienced by the rider.
