I’m writing this blog post as a sort of public notice that this seat failed catastrophically while my 85-pound 10-year-old daughter was riding a bike that was on it. She is mostly fine other than some scrapes seemingly to her and to her bicycle. No seat should fail like this. This is like the most terrifying bike component I have experienced in 30 years of riding all kinds of bikes. I bought it at the Verdun Decathlon on July 12, 2023, which I know because it was a tour and I blogged it. It actually was relatively little-used because I finished that tour and then took it off of my bike and then only 3 months ago put it on my daughter’s bike.
