The disconnected feeling on a motorcycle occurs when the user puts too much air in the AirHawk. The trick is using very little air, just enough to take the pressure off the sit bones and tail bone, without actually lifting those areas off the seat. That being said, I am not sure how well it would work on a bicycle. On a motorcycle seat, there is a larger area, enabling the weight to be spread out over a larger area, thereby taking the weight off the sit bones and tailbone when the AirHawk is used correctly. With this pad, since the main point of contact is actually the sit bones, I really do not see how it would work effectively.
