Abstract
A seat with integral backrest attaches to a conventional cycle seat frame such that the seat adjusts forward and back on the frame. The frame attaches normally to the conventional cycle seat post. The backrest of the seat is peripherally configured and perforated to receive straps and anchor bands of accessories such as backpacks, bulk containers and sunshades. Horizontal racks on the underside of the seat movably anchor the seat frame to the cycle and afford attachment means for accessory platforms for either cargo or persons. Either is additionally supported from the back of the cycle frame above the rear wheel thereof. The front seat portion has a coupler securing the seat to the cycle frame bar to set the attitude of the seat and to stabilize the seat against transverse motion.
