Ride Like a Jockey

Do you get bounced off the bike when you're riding on rough terrain? Position your pedals so the crank arms are horizontal, put your weight on the pedals, and lift your hips slightly off the saddle. Use your legs as shock absorbers to soak up the bumps in the trail. You won't get bucked off, and it's easier on wheels and other equipment, too.
