A bicycle seat that provides increased comfort during extended periods of use, due to a redistribution of the rider's weight. The primary components of the bicycle seat include a support shell/frame, a lightweight layer of padding, and a vinyl or plastic outer cover. A two-part front end section is designed to provide support for the upper, back portion of the rider's thighs. Allowing the thighs to bear part of the rider's weight, thereby reducing the amount left to be supported by the buttocks and groin area, is a novel aspect of the present invention. This front end section, combined with the angle of the seat's mounting on the bicycle's frame, is such that, when pedaling, the inside of the rider's thighs do not rub against the front end of the seat. The relatively broad tail section is designed to support the entire posterior of the rider in a manner that eliminates the rocking motion normally associated with the pedaling of the bicycle.
