Hello all,
I've recently started using a bicycle as my primary means of transportation, and I'm loving it so far. I've run into a problem, however; today I took a bump and my saddle started swivelling quite easily. For a moment I thought my quick release had given out, but that is not the case.
My seatpost is quite secure in the seat tube, but my seat is not secure in the seatpost. Please observe the following pictures:

This is how my seat and seatpost should look.

Now, please observe the position of the light. Do note that I did
not reposition the light.

The seat and the seatpost can disconnect, as I discovered today.

I'm at a total loss as to how to fix this. The bottom of the seat doesn't seem to expand, nor does the top of the seat tube contract. There are no bolts, nuts, or screws that I can adjust.
Is anyone familiar with this kind of seat? I'd like to avoid taking it to my local bike shop, if only so I can get some more hands-on experience with maintaining my bike.
Any help you can provide is welcome and appreciated
