Abstract
A bicycle saddle includes a seat body made of a rigid plastic material, and including forward and rear portions. Two mounting poles have upper ends secured to the rear portion, and lower ends extending downwardly of the upper ends and having threaded portions. A retaining member has two major walls, and two through holes formed through the major walls for passage of the mounting poles, respectively. A supporting member engages the forward portion, and is connected to the retaining member. At least one pair of first and second deformable members are disposed between the seat body and the retaining member. Each deformable member has two abutting walls, an annular inner periphery extending to communicate the abutting walls to define a penetrating hole therein for sleeving snugly on the respective mounting pole, and two annular recess portions extending radially from the abutting walls to be communicated with the penetrating hole, and inwardly toward each other. Two fastening members are disposed to engage threadedly and respectively the threaded portions to secure the retaining member to the seat body.
