Dear Aaron, It is hard to figure how "direct pressure" comes to bear on his coccyx, even if he rides vertically. Although they had many funny designs sold in the early days of bicycles, the support rests under the two tuberosities of the ischium in modern seats. And for that reason, women's bicycle seats are broader. But if his pain is referred and not from direct contact, there would seem little that can be done until his situation is mended. If the seat supports the two ischial tuberosities and he is at all inclined forward, direct involvement seems impossible. Seats on English three-speeds were usually "spring seats." Although racing "theory" rejects spring seats, maybe one of those would make the difference. Also, they came in "men's-women's-and unisex" widths.
