Abstract

A unitary seat assembly for mounting a pair of seats on a bicycle includes a central longitudinal bar portion and a first and second vertical bar portion having different lengths which extend from the central bar portion. Bicycle seats are mounted on the ends of said first and second bar portions, one of said seats being above the pedals of the bicycle while the second seat is positioned either behind or in front of the first seat. The first seat is set at a height to permit the full downward extension of the rider's legs when pedaling while the second seat is set at a height low enough to permit the rider's legs to comfortably reach the ground.
