Optimal protruding node length of bicycle seats determined using cycling postures and subjective ratings
No previous study has systematically examined the effects of protruding nose lengths (PNL). We collected body postures and subjective ratings under 5 seat PNLs2 handle heights conditions. Different PNLs affected only the trunk angle, and did not affect the other body angles. The handle and the PNL variables had varying effects on the degree of pelvic tilt. When PNL=6cm, discomfort was more acceptable and stability was also sufficient for the riders.
