The inventor of the Para-Mount Glider bicycle seat, Mark Botkin, created this seat technology to address the conflict between his love of cycling verses the ever-increasing pain caused by saddle seats, especially on extended rides. Subsequent research has shown that the discomfort and physical damage caused by traditional saddles is the primary cause of people giving up cycling, especially later in life.
The ‘Para’ in Para-Mount Glider is meant to denote a protective function. This seat:
Eliminates saddle soreness
Eliminates inner thigh chafing
Health experts claim that with current trends, half of all Americans will be obese by 2030. Lets get people out and exercising!
With the Covid-19 pandemic there has been an unprecedented demand for bicycles. The Para-Mount Glider seat serves to further expand this demographic, made up of those wanting to exercise safely, and research has shown cycling can rejuvenate the immune system of even advanced seniors to that of someone in their mid twenties!
