It has been suggested that cycling with raised saddle seat for 18 to 20 miles everyday would increase the shinbone length by 1/4 inch every 2 or 3 weeks. It's very difficult but someone out there should experiment & report back their progress! Stationary bikes are preferred over traditional bikes because the convenience of cycling indoor regardless of weather conditions. Good stationary bikes can be found at any fitness clubs at the cost of membership subscription, or simply purchase a cheap stationary bike and then customize it as outlined below.

Equipments you need to raise the seat of your stationary bicycle

Tool #1: drill bit
Go to your local hardware store or Home-Depot and find some drill bits.. and choose the one that fits the hole of your stationary bicycle bar.

The drill bit I’m using is 11/32” (0.86 cm). It costs about $4.49 @ Ace Hardware Store. The brand is High Speed Steel.

Tool #2: bolts & nuts

You need 4 bolts. The bolts I’m using are 5/16” x 2”. It costs about 52 cents for each @ Home Depot.

Also, you need 4 nuts. The nuts I’m using are 5/16”. It costs about 96 cents for each @ Home Depot.

Tool #3: bolt hub-caps
You need some bolt hub-caps so you can tighten them up with the bolts.

Tool #4: bar
You need a copper, metal, or nylon bar so that you can insert inside the saddle seat bar to lengthen it. It’s very important that you must find a bar that must fit the saddle seat bar perfectly.. if it’s not perfect, the saddle seat will shake when you actually biking.

Tool #5: Of course, you need a stationary bike.. above is the stationary bike that I purchased from Wal-mart. Click here to find out. Or, go to Yahoo.com search engine and find the one that you like.

How Sky customized his stationary bike which he bought online from Wal-mart

Before: This is what the stationary bike looks like before I customize it.

After: This is what the bike looks like after I customize it. The saddle bar is now 5 inches longer than before.

Step 1: First, you need to remove the saddle seat from the stationary bike.

Step 2: Cut the saddle seat in half.

Step 3: Insert the copper tube in between the 2 cut-ends of the saddle bar..

Note: I’m using the copper bar because it fits perfectly into the saddle bar.. you may try copper, nylon, metal, or any other bar so that it will fit the size of the saddle bar.

Step 4: Put the bicycle saddle bar on a platform and ready to drill some holes.

Step 5: Then, I use the drill bit size 11/32” to drill 4 holes in between the saddle bar and the copper tube hidden inside.

Step 6: Then, get some bolts, nuts, bolt hub-caps.. and tighten up the 4 holes.

Step 7a: This is what the saddle bar looks like after it’s complete.. it’s now 5 inches longer than before. Note that the 4 holes that I drill go through both the saddle bar and the copper bar hidden inside. Next, I insert the bolts through both the saddle bar and the copper bar.. and I tighten them up.

Step 7b: This is the close-up zoom of the saddle bar and how bolts & nuts are tightened.

Finished product: Mission accomplished!

Cycling with raised seat success stories

       Note: The following success stories are among the best out there. They sound quite credible.

When I was 23 years old I used to cycle to college which was about 10 miles away - so there and back is 20 miles in total. I read somewhere about increasing saddle height so your legs are stretched when you cycle - so it gives a slight pull on the legs. It's bloody sore to start off with but you get used to it after a week. I done this every day for 4 months (along with plenty of protein drinks) and increased the length of my legs by over 2.5 inches - increasing saddle height 1/4 inch every few weeks. I honestly believe that any one regardless of age can achieve this and more - the legs are literally forced to grow to accommodate all that pulling and stretching. But I never see anyone else singing the praises of cycling to increase height - am I the only one?

“Cycling for height”
July 10 2002 at 5:31 AM
Anonymous: Well, I don't know if this is true but I know I increased the length of my legs a few years ago by doing the cycling exercise whereby you have to make sure your legs are fully stretched. I used to cycle 15 miles a day and the growth was really rapid - and I was 27 years old. I'm surprised this sort of thing isn't featured more on this forum as it really works.

Ann’s question for anonymous: Was the height you gained in your legs permanent? How much did you gain? So simply cycling should help or are there stretches/exercises for the legs specifically that would get the same results?

Anonymous’ response: Yes it was permanent. I just made sure I cycled every day and I ate a healthy diet supplemented with protein powder. I also got at least 8 hours sleep a night. I just can't see why all you people find it so hard to increase your height - it's easy. If you put the effort in and stay healthy then the growth will come. An interesting point is that when I cycled for just 6 to 7 miles a day not much happened but when I cycled 15 miles every day then I really noticed the increase. I used to increase the saddle height 1/4 almost every 2 weeks.

Anonymous’ other post:  “It was me who posted that”
Well I’m glad some people took some notice of my post –I haven’t visited this site for a while because nobody seemed interested in this method of height increase. Like I said you have to do a lot of miles almost every day to notice the effect… 5, 6, 7 miles isn’t enough. You must do at least 15 miles of hard cycling and make sure that your legs and feet are stretching every time. If you’re doing it properly – and eating correctly – it should only take a couple of weeks to gain ¼ inch. Obviously the younger you are the better the results you are going to get but you can still get good results no matter how old you are. This is the best method of height increase I know and more people should put the effort in and at least give it a try.

I grew an inch from cycling.. I joined a serious cycling club and did about 40 kms a week. I have grown from under 5’11 to 6’0, my goal is 6’1. I was very pleased with this as I tried 100 other methods including hanging, stretching and basketball, and I never grew a cm. 1 km = 0.621 mile… 40 km = 24.8 miles

“Really?”
September 11, 2003, 1:10 AM
For real? you grew by raising the saddle? I used to ride my bike to work and I liked to make my saddle height really high. I was like 5'4.5 or 5'5 when I was 15 and I became 5'8 when I turned 16. then i got my driver's license and never bike to work again and i never grew anymore. Let me know if you kept on growing by raising the saddle, I wanna know if it really helps! keep this thread updated!
