This is a split bicycle or tricycle saddle with left and right halves that move independently on a common pivot axis in a way that allows for more natural movement and posture of the human body during the foot operated pedal cycling activity. Each half of the saddle is shaped such that there is support behind the hip, capturing the ilium, as well as contact with the thigh which enables more power to be applied to the bicycle pedals when the cyclist is pedalling with the upper body fully upright in a more natural and comfortable position than the typical horizontal racing bicycle posture of the upper body. The resulting benefits from the said bicycle saddle arrangement are increased comfort, safety, better visibility, more power from the legs while both flexing and extending and less effort from the arms and chest muscles. In addition there is no pressure on the prostate and no damage to the testes so that male potency is unaffected as it is with other cycle seats which impact the sub-scrotal area.
