bike saddle

Two-wheeled throne

A bike saddle is the seat on a bicycle—the small, typically narrow platform where the rider sits.

Unlike chairs or car seats, bike saddles are designed to support weight primarily on the sit bones while allowing leg movement: I need a more comfortable bike saddle for long rides.

Also called a bicycle seat.
