Bicycle saddle is a horse saddle reduced to the minimum expression

The word ‘saddle’ itself has remain constant to designate both horse seat and bicycle seat. The bicycle origin is a contrivance created in 1817 by Baron Von Drais for the entertainmet of the nobles. Inspired by a horse, it was made of wood, had two wheels, and its rider had to push with their feet on the ground to move forward. With the bicycle evolution this kind of mini horse saddle has remain unchanging. Its size has been reduced to the minimum, generating at the same time many pains because most of rider’s wheight is on a too little surface. Curiously we can’t find any other vehicle or furniture with a seating surface as minuscule.
