Abstract
A seat or saddle for use on a bicycle or bicycle type exerciser has a flexible plastic frame in the general shape and contour of the seat which has a large opening formed therein. Mounted in the opening and running between the forward and rear inner edges of the opening in a converging arrangement are a plurality of horizontal coil springs which are spaced from each other over the area of such opening. Attached to the frame and mounted over the springs is a foam rubber piece which is in the shape of the seat and which is thick enough to provide substantial cushioning. Mounted over the foam rubber piece and attached thereto and the bottom edge portion of the frame is a vinyl covering. A pair of large coil springs are vertically mounted normal to the horizontal springs on opposite sides of the bottom rear portion of the frame; these springs being supported on the bottom ends by support brackets which extend from the forward portion of the frame.
