Those thin hard racing seats cut off a vein/nerve to the family jewels...leading to "problems".

A split seat with a basic suspension system has been patented which supports the ball/socket and weight of the pelvis, but I still haven't seen it in widespread use.

James, many years ago...... I had a different design than that which could also be customized to the physical specs of the customer, but that is cool.

Speaking of "cool", that design at least offers some airflow to the parts....

This is now the cycling equivalent of a Miata with a custom license plate that reads "Sassy"

Nice ride though, good for her!

John, that seat has an adjuster to allow the 2 halves to spread as far as needed, so you ride on the cheeks, not the 'taint.

Well engineered design. Follow the compression load, range of motion needed, with thermal consideration, and a better A+B results.

My girl was suffering for years from night-sweats. Tossing, turning. All night long. Tens of millions of women probably suffer from the same. There's a market in need....
So I thought up a system where she could quickly hit a button and have fresh air circulating from inside the bed for a metered period(no pun) of time.

Why not take the idea furthur.
What about at work as well? Why not have air conditioned clothing?

Then I looked on the uspto dotgov website and there were several bed designs, though not specifically the same. Then the air-conditioned motorcycle suit hit the press. What a great application.
Humanity will continue to further.
