 Bicycle or reg throne?
Bicycle throne or round? I can't remember the particular brand (probably because im usually sitting on it) but I use a Bicycle style throne. I was wondering what you guys use and why if there is a reason. Also, anyone here use backrests?

I use Tama's HT130 throne, very comfortable with plenty of cushin, a mix between bicycle and round, and
with an option for backrest, but I do not use the backrest. I have used many others, but for my two pennies,
I will stay with the HT130, just the best I have ever used.

Gibraltar bike throne, no back rest.
I think it's purely a matter of taste, either can and will work fine. The major difference I've found is, on a bike seat you can sit further back, getting more support and cushion, while on a round throne, you have to (or should, at least) sit closer to the edge, using it more like a zazen cushion than a seat.
Which would mean I'm a lazy sob... yeah, that sounds about right!

I have a Roc-n-Soc saddle-type throne with a backrest, and it's great. I had a standard round Tama throne before that and the R-n-S is much more comfortable. It took me a while to get used to playing with the backrest but now I don't even notice it and my posture is better.

I use a Roc-n-Soc nitro which is a bicycle throne. I prefer to have the contour of the throne and some bounce. Peace on ya!

I am a fan of the round, myself. I don't care for the bicycle seats because, honestly, I'm a big guy, and The Boys don't get along with the bike seat. The last time I used one it was at a rehearsal. When we were done, I stood up and they were numb. It freaked me out bad. Sorry to be so graphic, but the wife and I want kids someday and I can't risk the family jewels.
