I don't know about anyone else, but I recently bought a bike with with a suspension seat post, and have since changed to a normal seat post. The issue I had was the seat rocked back and forth when I was riding. There was a clamp on the top that I could tighten to stop the rocking, but it also stopped the suspension from working. I also found it was an odd size I guess (26.75mm). At any rate, I like the standard post better. It may be because this Schwinn is a "comfort" bike and has a wide seat. It dosent look like that Cannondale seat is very wide
