Not that it really matters to me one way or the other but I got to thinking about that the other night and couldn't get it out of my head.
You ride a bike like you ride a Horse. On a saddle. However your "seat" sits on a saddle on a post to hold up the saddle you sit on. Therefore the supporting part holding up the saddle your seat is sitting on is a seat post and it has to slide into a tube designed to hold the post the holds the saddle that supports your seat.
Sounded good when I was making that up.
