It was GREAT! It takes your weight OFF YOUR ASS and puts it on your PEDALS where it belongs!
Yes, I wonder why no one does that
Why not remove the seat entirely? And get a TT bike?
It is FREE SPEED because you get at least TWO GEARS and you go 3 to 5 % FASTER with LESS effort!
The bike also handles FAR BETTER because you DON'T STEER you just LEAN!
Wow.
The idea is to have ONE THIRD of your weight on you ASS and ONE THIRD on your pedals and ONE THIRD on your hands!
The bike GOES FASTER and handles better! Try it!
Nah, I'll go the whole hog: remove the seat, get a 34 inch rear tyre from a Penny Farthing, and use its rear wheel as my front wheel. MOAR POWAR; BABY!

Ah, I see it's your first post. So, it's a sock from someone.
