Bicycle saddle

A bicycle saddle for seating a bicycle rider, said bicycle rider having right and left ischeal tuberosities, said bicycle saddle comprising:

• a shell, said shell having an upper surface and an underside, and said shell defining a relatively narrow anterior portion of the bicycle saddle which fits between said bicycle rider's crotch, and said shell further defining a relatively wider posterior portion of the bicycle saddle for supporting said bicycle rider's buttocks;
• a suspension rail for mounting said bicycle saddle to a bicycle, said rail comprising a metal wire having a first rear end, a second rear end, and a bent front portion, with the first rear end and second rear end being coupled under the posterior portion of the shell, and the bent front portion being coupled under the anterior portion of the shell;
• foam padding covering the upper surface of the shell;
• a cover covering over the foam padding and thereby providing a seating surface for the bicycle rider to sit on;
• the posterior portion of the bicycle saddle including a substantially V-shaped open space, said V-shaped open space extending forwardly from a rear edge of the posterior portion of the saddle and terminating at an apex;
• the seating surface including a central, longitudinally extending depression extending from the apex of the V-shaped open space forwardly to the anterior portion of the saddle;
• and
• said V-shaped open space including an interior side wall portion that pulls a central portion of the cover downwardly toward the upper surface of the shell, thereby forming the depression in the seating surface;
• wherein the V-shaped open space and the central, longitudinally extending depression effectively divide the seating surface of the saddle into laterally spaced apart right and left posterior support surfaces for supporting the right and left ischeal tuberosities of the bicycle rider, respectively.
