Abstract: A bicycle saddle for attaching to a bicycle seat post including a rearward seat portion extending forwardly to a soft compressible nose. The seat portion adapted to support a rider's ischial tuberosities in the cruising position. The nose adapted to support the rider's pudendal or pelvic anatomy. The seat portion having downwardly sloped lateral flanges disposed either side of the nose wherein the flanges continue to provide support to the ischial tuberosities. Any increase in perineal and pudendal pressure is substantially absorbed by the compressibility of the nose such that maintaining continuous contact with the seat portion and nose enables full saddle control as the rider shifts from the cruising to an aerodynamic or racing position.
