Hey, ever since I learned how to ride a bicycle I always road seated on the saddle. But since I started riding Road Bikes which is about one year now, I have started to ride out of the saddle. To my knowledge, I generate more raw power and my body feels more active. This is opposed to riding seated, and sometimes I feel like I rather ride out of the saddle for a long time. Is it normal/good to ride allot out of the saddle, or is it too much wear on the frame/wheel/components. I just find it more fun to ride out of the saddle, any time I ride on saddle I just don't feel like I am moving fast. I wish I road out of the saddle more in my youth, but I was always afraid of braking the chain because of my weight on the pedals. Riding out of the saddle is the ****.
