More in metal fatigue

Here’s the latest installment in my ongoing series, “I’ve never seen one of these break before!”
Yesterday, when I was riding in to work, I noticed that my bike seat felt weird. Like the seatpost was loose. So when I got to the office, I had a look, and I saw that one of the saddle rails had broken. At which point I said, “I’ve never seen one of these break before!”
So when I got home, I replaced the saddle with a spare one I had lying around. So everything is good.
