A seat or saddle (20, 200, 400) mountable on a bicycle is provided. The seat includes a unitary base (24, 204, 404) and two supporting members (28-30, 208-210, 408-410) extending from the front of the base (24). The base (24, 204, 404) and supporting members (28-30, 208-210, 408-410) cooperate to define a generally medial perineal accommodation (92, 262, 486). One portion of the perineal accommodation is defined by inner surfaces (52-54,228-230, 430-432) of the supporting members (28-30, 208-210, 408-410). The defined perineal accommodation (92, 262, 486) includes a cross-sectional dimension sufficient to prevent or greatly reduce the likelihood of perineal injury to persons using the seat. Both the seat (20, 200, 400) a(28-30, 208-210, 408-410) taper toward ends (64-66, 240-242, 442-444) of the supporting members (28-30, 208-210, 408-410). Corresponding methods are also disclosed.
