Abstract

A saddle support of a metal tubular body is mounted to the bottom side of a bicycle saddle and has a front section, a substantially horizontal intermediate section, and a rear section. The front section has a substantially horizontal V-shaped portion connected to a front section of the bottom side of the bicycle saddle, and a diverging portion having two downwardly inclined arms which extend rearwardly and respectively from two ends of the horizontal V-shaped portion. The intermediate section has two parallel arms which extend rearwardly and respectively from distal ends of the downwardly inclined arms. The rear section has two upwardly inclined arms which extend rearwardly and respectively from distal ends of the parallel arms. Each of the upwardly inclined arms of the rear section has a rear end which supports a rear section of the bottom side of the bicycle saddle. A solid metal reinforcing rod is inserted fittingly into each of the parallel arms and has two rounded ends and extends between the front section and the rear section of the saddle support in the respective one of the parallel arms.
