• The problem to be solved:
  The main aim was to create a bicycle seat that eliminates the discomfort of the traditional bicycle seats that are fatiguing, hard and cause perspiration.

• Definition:
  The object of the invention is a bicycle seat where the seat surface is a flexible net and it can be mounted on the traditional bicycles in a usual way.

• Presentation:
  The seating surface of the invented design bicycle seat is a braided fine mesh net made of high strength cotton-braided polypropylene filament. The braided net is fastened at the edges of and tensioned between two semicylindrical, supporting and tensioning sides that results in a semicylindrical seat shape. The two semicircular shape vertical sides are fastened to each other through a U-shaped, torsional-rod suspension that determines the distance between the two lateral sides and holds the seat. There is an adjustable seat fastening clamp at the middle of the U-shaped suspension rod used to mount the seat on the bicycle frame. The invented design seat can be mounted on the frame of any usual bicycle, likewise the traditional seats and, any of those can easily be replaced with the invented design seat. Its use is not tiring but comfortable, not hard but soft and it is airy to hinder the perspiration. The seat position on the bicycle is crosswise with respect to the direction of movement.
