The saddle on that bike looks vaguely erotic!

From the top photo it looks like the front wheel is on backwards!

How about a wrap or two of "duct tape" around the stem, that should give enough filler, or a small section of 22mm plastic pipe, split vertically to open up the sleeve size to the stem size

And riders too!

Is that a suspension seat post?

Its been down to 3c in the daytime here in Bedfordshire with times of really damp drizzle, add to that your airspeed and you have conditions for severe chill factor for your battery - it may just be feeling the cold!!

Candle wax is also brilliant rubbed on sticking drawers or doors or windows to free them up. I also used it on fence panels when sliding them into the concrete fence post groove.
