Quote from www.brookssaddles.com.
1885 - Legend has it that a young man of 19 years old called John Boultbee
Brooks bought himself one of those new-fangled velocipedes, He would have
cut quite a dashing figure back in the day, but that was not all he cut; the
wooden saddle was excruciatingly uncomfortable. Now his father made leather
saddles for horses - and indeed he and his contempories normally went to
work on a horse. So the young Brooks set about designing and developing a
comfortable saddle from leather in his fathers works. The rest they say is
history.
If you want to know more about "how come" the bicycle saddle, this homepage
of the historic company has more to offer.
