The bike seat blues got you down? You've read about the problems with bicycle riding and traditional bicycle seats. This may be the answer you are looking for. The SEAT from ERGO, LLC can have you up and riding in healthy comfort today! Try the new Gel seat from ERGO. The SEAT takes the pressure off soft tissues and tender organs and lets you sit where you are supposed to sit — on your “sit bones”. The SEAT’s innovative, ergonomic design eliminates the protruding horn or nose found on conventional bicycle seats, providing a significantly more comfortable and healthy ride. Dimensions: 9 x 6 x 3.5 inches Fits any Standard, Conventional Rail-Mount Bicycle [Note: "stationary" exercise bikes, must have conventional rail-mounts for proper installation] Rear Reflectors are Standard, Lightweight 14 oz. Design, Easy Installation and Adjustment, "Sit-bone" Based Support, Healthy Comfortable Ride, No more Numbness!
Traditional bike seats have a protruding horn or nose area that forces riders to support themselves on soft tissue and tender organs in the pubic area that is not intended to carry the weight of the body. This cuts off blood circulation to the genitalia causing pain, numbness and even sexual dysfunction.
"The design of 'The SEAT' bicycle seat has also been recognized internationally and has been cited as a healthy alternative to other seats on the market," according to Ergo president and award-winning designer Tom White.
"The SEAT" is in compliance with the recent recommendations set forth in a new report from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). That report, which studied possible health hazards among a police bicycle patrol unit, found that localized pressure from traditional bicycle seats with a protruding nose could cause numbness and sexual problems. The report recommended that a bicycle seat without a nose would likely result in less pressure on the perineum and the underlying nerves and blood vessels and would thereby help prevent these symptoms. The design of "The SEAT" is also supported by a study of the Urology Department of the University Medical Center of Cologne, Germany.
"The SEAT" bicycle seat has also been endorsed by physicians, including Dr. Thomas Green, associate clinical professor at the University of Washington and urologist at Swedish Urology Group in Seattle. "This seat makes a lot of sense to me," says Dr. Green. "Prolonged riding on conventional seats can cause compression of the nerves and restricted blood flow, leading to sexual dysfunction and other problems. I see a lot of male and female bicyclists who complain of pain. "The SEAT" eliminates the cause of this pain -- it's a big leap forward." Dr. Gabe Mirkin, a renowned health expert and host of the national radio talk show, the "Dr. Gabe Mirkin Show", also endorses "The SEAT."

The SEAT’s innovative, ergonomic design eliminates the protruding horn or nose found on conventional bicycle seats, providing a significantly more comfortable and healthy ride. For many people, buying a new bike also means shopping for a more comfortable seat. Traditional bike saddles cut off circulation, leading to discomfort and, in some cases, sexual dysfunction.

"This seat makes a lot of sense to me. Prolonged riding on conventional seats can cause compression of the nerves and blood flow, leading to sexual dysfunction and other problems. I see a lot of male and female bicyclists who complain of pain in the perineal area. The SEAT eliminates the cause of this pain-it’s a big leap forward."

" . . . as long as a saddle has a nose - the case with most new designs - it isn’t safe."
-Dr. Irwin Goldstein, chief urologist at Boston Medical University, Business Week, May 10, 1999
“The best seat is wide in the back to allow a person to sit on the sit bones and it does not have a nose to press on the pudendal nerves. One such seat is called "TheSeat" and is shaped like a rectangle with no nose, so there is no pressure on your crotch. Now we can ride for hours without felling any discomfort."
- Dr. Gabe Mirkin, Host of "The Dr Gave Mirkin Show", Physician, Author, Professor, Columnist, Former Marathon Runner.
"As you know, very few urologists are aware of the association between bicycle seats and impotence. I’ve given lectures around the world, and after every one, several physicians ask us about a safer seat. I always give them your e-mail address contact@ergo-theseat.com and web site http://www.ergo-theseat.com, and explain to them that although we don’t have scientific evidence that your seat is ideal, it is wider and has no nose, and in consequence we feel that it is a great alternative to traditional seats."
- Dr. Ricardo Munarriz, associate Dr. Irwin Goldstein, chief urologist at Boston Medical University
