Abstract: A bicycle seat assembly that is configured to be attached to a frame of a bicycle includes a seat pan, a foam layer, and an air cell pad. The seat pan is configured to be attached to the frame of the bicycle. The seat pan includes a pair of cutouts that are spaced apart from one another. The air cell pad includes a base and a plurality of upstanding air cells that are coupled to the base, each of the plurality of air cells being configured to retain air. The foam layer can be positioned between the air cell pad and the seat pan; or the air cell pad can be positioned between the foam layer and the seat pan.

Abstract: A bicycle seat assembly includes a seat pan that is configured to be attached to a frame of a bicycle. The seat pan includes a pair of cutouts that are spaced apart from one another. When the bicycle seat assembly is in an unstressed condition no structures are positioned within the cutouts. The bicycle seat assembly can further include a resilient layer that is positioned adjacent to the seat pan. The resilient layer extends over the cutouts when the bicycle seat assembly is in the unstressed condition. The bicycle seat assembly can also include an air cell pad that is positioned over the seat pan. The air cell pad includes a base and a plurality of upstanding air cells that are coupled to the base, each of the plurality of air cells being configured to retain air.

Abstract: A seat cushion that provides enhanced comfort and support for a user, comprises a base surface and a plurality of air cells that are positioned on and extend generally upwardly away from the base surface. The plurality of air cells include (i) a first paired air cell having a first upper surface, the entire first upper surface being angled in a first direction relative to the base surface; and (ii) a second paired air cell having a second upper surface, the entire second upper surface being angled in a second direction relative to the base surface that is different than the first direction. The second paired air cell is positioned adjacent to the first paired air cell. Additionally, the first paired air cell and the second paired air cell cooperate to provide a substantially concave combined upper surface.
