Abstract
A bicycle saddle, in particular, a men's bicycle saddle, has a seat part and a front part. A spring arm and a damping arm are connected fixedly to the front part. One end of the spring arm is likewise connected fixedly to the seat part via a retaining element. One end of the damping arm is not connected to the seat part and, if a force occurs in the genital region, is movable in the direction of an arrow. Damping of the movement takes place here on account of the elastomeric body which reduces a pressure occurring in the genital region of the cyclist.
