I see folx cycling around with their knees around their ears and wanna yell “RAISE YOUR SEAT” at the top of my lungs. It’s literally painful to me to see. 😬 #ShowerThoughts #BikeTooter #SanFranciscoHellscape #DestroyedKneesEdition

@ai6yr @pmonks I see that too and while it make me sad, I get it.

1. Some people literally don’t know how to raise their seats
2. Some people don’t want to, because they want to be able to have their feet on the ground and stay on the saddle when at a stop
3. Some don’t know the benefits (comfort, efficiency, etc) of proper leg extension when riding.

@ai6yr @pmonks but the one that really makes me wonder:

People that have their feet only half on the pedals. It seems so counter intuitive and would only make riding harder and more dangerous.

@pmonks we are bound by a common cause. I have spent years shouting SEAT UP at random people!

I only do this in my head, cause no one wants a nutter shouting at them. Even if it is well intentioned.

As it's currently so quiet on the geo political front, perhaps governments have time to consider a public information campaign.
