Posting is what you do on the corner, standing next to your bike. Most of the time, this is done after you walked your bike down the block with some girls. Also referred to POSING or POSTING UP.

:eek:

no, but really posting is when you ride your bike with out a seat. it is like fisting, but bikes are invovled so it is way better.

yikes. only in your bedroom.

Posting is more than unweighting the saddle, it's also following through. What I suggested for potholes in that "Hoping for potholes" is exaggerated posting. It's a much more appropriate term for fixed gear riding than general cycling. Sheldon is the smart. You can just unweight the saddle coasting but fixed unweighting the saddle is more akin to hurdling than just bumping over something. Just like on horseback if all you did was unweight the saddle in a jump it'd be unpleasant. Exaggerate the motion and it's great for potholes, less energy than a bunny hop and looks way more fluid.

Yes!! I thought the feeling of posting reminded me of something: steeplechase!

You post when the horse enters a trot. You use your legs to control your own up and down motion, basically going up and down once for every time the horse would make you go up and down. when you do this, the motion is fluid. You're still going up and down, but you control your motion with your legs. You don't do this when the the horse is cantering or galloping (the two faster speeds--think of how thoroughbred jockeys ride). If you don't post in a trot, you bounce all over the place and seriously numb your a$$. It's also easier on the horse.

It's not the same motion exactly, but that's why Mr. Brown put the word in quotes I guess. You have to control your leg motion to control your body while moving to not get saddle sore--makes sense.

ps--I was never good at riding horses, and I'm sure that someone here knows better than I do. but I actually knew something relavent to the topic and couldn't help myself. ;)
