      Clearly you have no idea what it is like to have each cheek independently supported. I bet you could even use this saddle to collect the extra energy generated by your cheeks. This cheek energy could then be wirelessly transmitted back to powerbanks. Our entire society could be powered purely by the massive cheek energy of billions of bikers.

        LOL, as a bicyclist that uses such a type of seat, I thought you were serious & talking about powering something the cyclist is using-have on him. I can see that being the next innovation to these type of seats.

          I am sure you could also use this energy to power the peripherals connected to your bike as well.

          My stance is this energy should be used for the good of society. This ass energy could be collected for the benefit of mankind.

          Imagine billions of cheeks working together to power our industry. This is the type of energy revolution we desperately need!
