Seat ?! seat ?! A seat is something you sit on in a bus or a smelly tin-box (car) . . .

Seat ? maybe something on a cheap stink-ray or a cruiser !

Propa inglish for ANY good bicycle = SADDLE ! Propa inglish for vulgar term "seatpost" = SADDLE PILLAR !

And always remember - cars have fenders, bikes have MUDGUARDS !
