sheds,

I know what you mean about the bumps when bike riding. My wife and I were very picky about how our SUV handles bumps in the road because they can send me for a loop.

Have you looked into a new seat for your bike. The old fashion seats with the spring suspension are back on the market. There are also seat posts that have shock absorption built into the post.

Also, reducing the pressure in the tires can help.

I just spent hours replacing the elastomeric shocks on my bike because they had become stiff. The replacements are still too stiff. I will need to find softer springs since the elastomeric material is hard to find in a variety of stiffnesses now. I got the front shock to work better but the rear shocks feel like they are rock hard.

I have to avoid some road that I know are rough. I can see a ski area from my front porch but I cannot ski there because the road up the mountain has to many sharp turns (156 turns) and too many rough spots. Last time I tried it, I was a mess afterward.
