Patent attributes
An apparatus and method for supporting the rider of a pedaled device, such as a bicycle. One preferred apparatus includes first and second seat portions independently pivotable about a generally horizontal axis normal to a frame plane of the bicycle to allow, during bike pedaling, substantially unimpeded downward movement of the rear of the rider's upper-thighs, while the rider's buttocks remain free to contact the seat portions. The seat portions are preferably configured to jointly support the rider and to provide a gap for the rider's groin. The seat portions are preferably secured to the bicycle frame in a manner that allows adjustable lateral rotation in relation to the bicycle frame, further facilitating the rider's freedom of movement during pedaling.
