i feel ya. I had to cycle to the bike shop saddleless once. Not recommended. By the way, you could always get some bmx pegs.

Done it twice with my girl (she only weighs 7half stone) from Brick lane to wapping. She complained my saddle was too hard. It really works your thighs!

A "seatie"?

Round my way we call it a "Croggie" - no idea why.

In Oxford they call it a "backie".

My seat pole snapped at the head once, had to cycle standing from Dalston to Stockwell at 4am with a fizzy head - just no fun at all.

Oh I concur with the Aussies, it indeed is called a 'dink' or 'dinkie' Australia-wide.

In Canada it was called a 'double'.

I don't smoke and you can use as much punctuation as you want but I'm not calling it a 'backie' - it sounds like something from Brokeback Mountain..

Dink is mentioned here (along with loads of other tasty meanings!):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dink#Slang

I'm sure 'backie' is in urbandictionary, etc. but it's either down or blocked here.

I once saw three full-grown adult males on a single bicycle in Osaka, Japan. One on the seat, one sitting behind him on the rack, and one standing on the rack behind that with his arms on the shoulders of the driver.

I was impressed. I wouldn't try it myself, mind.
