This portfolio includes two innovations for bicycle saddles that improve riding performance. The first technology covers a saddle where both sides of the saddle can flex independently, providing comfortable support for a rider while pedaling and also some energy return. The second technology covers a saddle that is dimensioned to receive only the portion of a rider’s anatomy adjacent to the rider's ischial bones, so that
soft tissue substantially outside the ischial bones is not compressed. This keeps the rider in an optimal, forward riding position and avoids fatigue, pressure soreness, and obstruction of pedaling movement.
