The disadvantages of these devices include their complexity, since it is impossible to use commercially available saddle racks and the used mechanisms for clamping bicycle saddle racks.

The aim of the invention is to provide the ability to adjust the height of the saddle of the bicycle in the parking lot and when driving without replacing the bike saddle rack and regardless of the used saddle rack clamp.

This goal is achieved by the fact that on the screw (bolt) of the clamp 3, a spreader 4 is attached under the nut, connected by a flexible connection 5 to the control mechanism 6 located on the bicycle handlebar, and the seatpost 2, in which the saddle post 1 moves, is supplemented with a lifting (mechanical pneumatic, hydraulic or electric) 7.

The invention is illustrated by drawings.

In FIG. 1 shows a saddle height adjustment device according to US Pat. No. 5,713,555 A. The expanding device 4 is mounted on the clamp 3 of the saddle post 1, and the lifting mechanism 7 is located outside the seat tube 2.

In FIG. 2 shows an upgraded device for adjusting the height of a bicycle saddle according to US Pat. No. 5,713,555 A. The expanding device 4 is mounted on a special saddle post clamp screw.

In FIG. 3 shows a bicycle with a new device for adjusting the height of the saddle, where the expanding device 4 is put under the nut on the screw (bolt) of the clamp 3 of the rack of the saddle 1, and the lifting mechanism 7 is shown schematically in the neckline of the seat tube 2.

Thus, the height of the saddle can be adjusted by loosening the clamp by applying the control mechanism from the steering wheel to the expanding device and pressing down on the saddle both in the parking lot and when the bicycle is moving. Due to its simplicity, the device provides the convenience of riding a bicycle with the saddle down, increases the safety of the cyclist due to the ability to lower the center of gravity and bring your feet closer to the ground, without taking your hands off the wheel in case of danger, and simplicity allows you to use the device on bicycles of various types and sizes, including collapsible , since the saddle with the stand can be easily removed.
