Abstract
A bicycle seat assembly (10) for reducing frictional and pressure discomfort to the buttocks and urogenital region of a cyclist. The seat assembly provides a horizontal pivot assembly (20) for rotation of a bicycle seat (12) about a longitudinal axis of a bicycle to accommodate the movement of the cyclist's legs and hips while pedaling, and a bracket assembly (32) connecting the horizontal pivot assembly to a post (34). The bicycle seat assembly may also provide a vertical pivot assembly (40) operatively coupled between the seat and the horizontal pivot assembly for rotation of the seat about a vertical axis to provide additional relief of frictional and pressure discomfort.
