Datta, DilipSaikia, ArpeetaKalita, ZahnupriyaFemales are generally more prone of falling down from bicycles. Although bicycle is being analyzed on different aspects over the years, the exact science behind that instability is not yet known. Analyzing the seating arrangement in a bicycle and the nature of riding it, the present work explores the technical reasons behind the lower stability of female bicyclists on sudden braking, and subsequently proposes a scientific solution to the problem. The solution is an additional mechanism, fixed under the saddle arrangement without interfering the existing design of a bicycle, which tilts the saddle nose up and down automatically in order to prevent the forward sliding of the rider on the saddle surface during riding as well as to allow her comfort mounting and dismounting.
