Now, that was FUNNY!!!! LOL

So, now, consider what it is doing, when you are seated on it, with ALL your weight (instead of most) and then apply more pressure, to lift it, while pedalling.... . With every push of the pedal, you lift your body, instead of pushing on the pedals. (How many squats can you do********************) I rest my case, counsellor......

One more thing - keep your chain oiled, and clean. There is no such thing as tooooo much oil on the inside, or, to little oil on the outside. (not dry outside, but wiped almost dry)
