This study began by collecting all the relevant information to identify the height between bicycle seat and bicycle frame with height of rider, the suitable design of bicycle seat for female riders and the period of rider.

Three type of bicycle seat will be used in this experiment to identify the ergonomic design for female riders. Three level of height between bicycle seat and bicycle frame will be set to identify the suitable height for comfort riding which is 0 cm to 5 cm, 5 cm to 10 cm and 10 cm to 15 cm. To identify the most comfort period during riding, duration for riding will be set on 3 stages, 0 minutes to 5 minutes, 5 minutes to 10 minutes and 10 minutes to 15 minutes. It can be concluded that seat for female rider must be large compare to seat for male rider to support female pelvic muscles and also to avoid any injury on pelvic area. Height of seat must be adjusted to certain level to avoid pain on knees. If the height of bicycle seat too low, it will effect to knees because position of knees too bent. 2013 Undergraduates Project Papers NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/6525/1/CD7731.pdf application/pdf en http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/6525/4/RADHIAH%20BT%20ABD%20RAZAK%20%28CD7731%29%20-%20CHAP%201.pdf application/pdf en http://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/6525/5/RADHIAH%20BT%20ABD%20RAZAK%20%28CD7731%29%20-%20CHAP%203.pdf Radhiah, Abd Razak (2013) Optimal design of a competition bicycle for comfort riding ( focus on bicycle seat for female).
