A bicycle seat suspension can include one or more movable body members. The one or more movable body members can be configured to be operatively connected to a bicycle saddle. The one or more movable body members can be configured to change configuration when a load is applied to the bicycle saddle. The bicycle seat suspension can also include a vibration isolator. The vibration isolator can be configured to exhibit a non-linear stiffness profile including a region of quasi-zero stiffness. The vibration isolator can be operatively positioned such that, when the one or more movable body members change configuration responsive to a load being applied to the bicycle saddle, the one or more movable body members can engage the vibration isolator. As a result, the vibration isolator can isolate a person seated on the bicycle saddle from vibrations transferred through the bicycle saddle.

An annular cantilever beam spring is capable of exhibiting low friction and hysteresis and stiffness and specifically stiffness / volume far exceeding currently available COTS springs. The spring includes first and second sets of N stand-offs evenly positioned around opposing top and bottom surfaces of a flat annular beam at 360 / N degree intervals and angularly offset with respect to each other by 360 / 2N degrees such that each said stand-off is evenly spaced between adjacent pairs of stand-offs on the opposing surface. The first and second sets of stand-offs are responsive to opposing axial loads to deflect the flat annular beam axially at each stand-off in opposing directions to induce a curvature to the annular beam and store energy in the beam. The spring stiffness is determined by the elastic material properties of the flat annular beam, not the initial geometry as is common with the COTS springs.
