Abstract

An adjustable bicycle bench seat 80 having a substantially planar seating area 90 for use in place of a conventional saddle, and in which the seating area 90 is optimally positioned for target users and adjustable in that positioning. Adjustment is by means of rotation of a support arm 130 around a pivot member 270 attached to a collar 200 for attachment to a conventional seatpost 20 of a bicycle 10. The support arm 130 allows the seating area 90 to be rearward of the seat tube 30 and angled relative to horizontal. The seat may be rotated forwards for storage (figure 4). The adjustable bicycle bench seat is intended for use as a direct replacement for a conventional saddle in a conventional upright bicycle for use particularly by people of high BMI. The seat of the present invention allowing ready mounting and dismounting of the seat as well as convenient geometry to allow a pedalling action whilst being supported by a predominantly flat seating area, thus avoiding high-pressure presented by a conventional saddle and particularly disadvantageous for a person of high BMI.
