    Abstract: A variable height seat bicycle suspension seat post assembly for bicycles that descends at an angle toward the rear of the bicycle while providing a suspension component to the seat post. The downward angle at which the seat post assembly travels lowers the rider's center of gravity and improves the balance, stability, handling characteristics, and traction of the bicycle while at the same time absorbing shocks and other impacts caused by rough terrain.
