I think this would look neat, but serve little purpose, except
maybe on distance rides. Since while hopping, you are supposed to
be slightly over the seat, and have most of your weight on the pedals,
"seat spring" would do little to help you hop higher. If one could
make an "off road" axle that had a spring loaded center, so that when
you jumped, the cranks and pedals would flex towards the bottom, and
then rebound, that might help you hop higher. This however would be
much harder to build. Got any ideas as to a semi-simple way to do this?
put on your thinking caps!
