I pulled up beside him and suggested he raise the seat a few inches. He just grumbled and said he got the bike this morning and was very unhappy with it and was retuning it to the shop as soon as he got back to his car.
I see that all the time.... (well no mountains in Florida) people with the seat soooooo LOW.... It makes my old knees hurt just watching them ride....
