Ok this one might be obvious or just plain common sense, but I see a lot of people doing this, esp girls on cruisers. When you come to a bump, like a speed bump, or large crack in the road or gap in the asphalt, stand up on your pedals but keep your knees bent, and use your body as "suspension" as you ride over. I see so many going over big bumps with their butt on the saddle, and then I hear them go "ow!"
