I'm Troubled
Why is it that we call the part of the bicycle we sit on the saddle, but the part that holds the saddle up a seatpost? I'm going to start calling them saddleposts. Thanks for your concern.

The term "saddlestay" just doesn't sound right...

If it were in the Queen's english, they are referred as seatpins. I know this doesn't help, just sayin'.

No riding for me either, my allergies are ridiculous right now (right eye is almost swollen shut - VERY attractive!), we're going kayaking instead...allergies seem to be much better near water so I'll take what I can get. Don't work too hard okay?
