Ridgid bikes are not known for providing riders with much comfort, especially on the moonscape-textured roads of NYC. Master fabricator Neil Fenton's answer to this was designing his own style of pogo seats based around those found on early Harleys. I lifted the following photos off Neil's site,
Mr Tinker, showing some of the incredible work he's done on my bike.
None of the parts are off the shelf.
5" seat springs are so 1950
From the bottom you can get a feel for how it all works.
He also whipped up a head steady bracket for me. Note that it matches the front seat hinge - now THAT'S attention to detail.

site to see more of his work.
