A bicycle (10) comprises front and rear wheels (12), a frame (14), a seat post (34), and a damping member (52). An upper portion of the seat post (34) is movable relative to the frame (14) between a first position and a second position. The damping member (52) couples the seat post (34) to the frame (14) to dampen movement of the upper portion of the seat post (34). The damping member (52) can be positioned at least partially in a top tube (20) of the frame (14). Preferably, the seat post (34) flexes when the upper portion of the seat post (34) moves. The frame (14) further includes a securing location for securing the seat post (34), and the securing location is a distance from the upper end of the seat tube (24) that is at least 30% of a length of a seat tube (24). The seat post (34) has a front-to-rear width, and the seat tube (24) has a rear wall (46) spaced from the seat post (34) by a gap that is at least 25% of a front-to-rear width of the seat post (34).
