Abstract
A suspension device for use in mounting a bicycle seat on a bicycle frame. The device has an upper guide member telescopically, non-rotatability mounted in a lower guide member. An air cushion is provided between the guide members for use in cushioning movement of the guide members toward each other. First connecting members are provided on the upper portion of the upper guide member for use in connecting a bicycle seat to the upper member. Second connecting members are provided on the front, top of the lower guide member for use in connecting the lower guide member to a seat post with the lower guide member affixed in cantilever fashion, behind the seat post. The seat post is adapted to be mounted on the bicycle frame. The second connecting members are adjustably mounted to the lower guide member and the upper portion of the guide member extends at an angle of between fifty and seventy fifty degrees to the second connecting members. The invention also covers a suspension system and a bicycle incorporating the suspension device.
