  • Crotch cushion for a bicycle rider
    Patent number: 5978970
    Abstract: A crotch cushion (20) for bicycle riders includes a right buttock seat (22) having a first upwardly facing concave surface (24), and a laterally opposite left buttock seat (26) having a second upwardly facing concave surface (28). An upwardly facing trough (30) is connected between right buttock seat (22) and left buttock seat (26). In a preferred embodiment, padding (40) covers crotch cushion (20). First (24) and second (28) upwardly facing concave surfaces are contoured to accept the lower right and left medial buttocks respectively of a human, and thereby transfer the rider's weight away from the central crotch and onto the buttocks. Trough (30) provides stress relief for the perineal region of a human.
