Bikes: yes

Relax. Keep your weight on your pedals. If you're sitting on the saddle, you're not using your legs as shock absorbers, and the saddle will just hammer your arse.

Look up "Paris-Roubaix" or any number of pro road races that take place on terrible cobbles. Ordinary road imperfections, even ones that will jarr your body a bit, are unlikely to cause damage to your bike.
