    I see people doing this all of the time, they hold the seat out in front
    of them while they pedal. Now, when I try this, I usually end up
    bruising my leg, because whenever I put weight on the pedal, the seat
    jets in the same direction. What am i doing wrong?
    I know its pretty basic, but I suck. Meh.

    Be firmer with your grip on the seat.

    Also, you just need to practice. No one was perfect at it first time
    they tried. With practice, your pedaling will get smoother.

    But yeah, a firm grip can't hurt. Oh, and it also helps to start out my
    holding the seat out, but pressing it against your leg to keep it
    steady.
