"Moon Saddle" Bicycle Seat

"Moon Saddle" Bicycle Seat FARM HOME Miscellaneous 31-3-31 If you like everything about riding bikes except for the hard, uncomfortable seats, you're not alone. Inventor Dennis Bell of Phillipsburg, Montana, says his new "Moon Saddle" is the solution to your problem. The new seat mounts in place of most any bike seat. It's shaped like a new moon and has a replaceable pad made from polymer foam, which is covered by a tough urethane coating. The seat is designed to angle toward the front at 20 to 30 degrees, creating a "dish" or bowl that keeps you centered. It's supported by a pair of stainless steel rails. Seat height is adjusted using the original clamp that holds the seat post to the bicycle frame. "It's the most comfortable seat on the market," says Bell. "Riding on it is almost like sitting in a bowl. It doesn't put any damaging pressure on the tailbone and solves the problem of nerve and artery damage caused by single platform bicycle seats." According to Bell, one size fits all. "It works great for small children on up to the largest of adults. Generally, a bike should be adjusted so that about one third of the weight is on your hands, one third on your legs, and one third on the seat," he notes. Sells for $86 including S&H.
