That is interesting.
I ride an old 1995 Trek 830 Mountain Bike with a non-suspension fork and because I have only just got back into riding, I too feel bumps somewhat, even though I just ride on roads & footpaths.
Perhaps I should rule out getting a non-suspension bike as my new bike later this year and go with something like the Trek 8.6DS so I will have the option of the suspension fork.
