A pivot bridge unit to connect a bicycle saddle to a saddle support, the bicycle saddle including a seat element having a seat surface and at least two fastening rods spaced a distance apart on an underside of the seat element. The pivot bridge unit having a pivot axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the seat element. A central base, which is connectable to a saddle support head, includes at least one bearing for the pivot axis. A saddle clamping element, which is supported on the pivot axis, is designed to hold the fastening rods of the seat element. At least one compressible damping element supporting the saddle clamping element with respect to the central base, an axis of the at least one compressible damping element is pitched at an angle of 5 to 30 in relation to a vertical center line.

A seat structure includes a substrate structure and a pad structure affixed to a top surface of the substrate structure. The seat structure has a support region configured to provide a support for a user's buttocks, and a downwardly sloped nose portion. The seat structure is bump-less in that there is no raised portion at an area between the user's legs which would extend upwardly from adjacent laterally outward portions.

A bicycle seat assembly (10) for reducing frictional and pressure discomfort to the buttocks and urogenital region of a cyclist. The seat assembly provides a horizontal pivot assembly (20) for rotation of a bicycle seat (12) about a longitudinal axis of a bicycle to accommodate the movement of the cyclist's legs and hips while pedaling, and a bracket assembly (32) connecting the horizontal pivot assembly to a post (34). The bicycle seat assembly may also provide a vertical pivot assembly (40) operatively coupled between the seat and the horizontal pivot assembly for rotation of the seat about a vertical axis to provide additional relief of frictional and pressure discomfort.

A seat post head assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a housing coupled to a seat post, the housing including a cylindrical bore, and a first and second threaded chamber. A rotatable core is inserted into and rotates within the cylindrical bore, the rotatable core including a seat rail clamp assembly to fixedly clamp a set of seat rails and provide independent adjustment of a fore-aft location of the seat without affecting a pitch of the seat. The assembly additionally includes a first threaded member that threads into the first threaded chamber, contacts the rotatable core, and adjusts the pitch of the seat without affecting the fore-aft location of the seat. The assembly also includes a second threaded member that threads into the second threaded chamber, contacts a different portion of the rotatable core, and provides a physical hard stop against a change in the pitch.
