Every morning I have to negotiate a speed hump at the bottom of a hill.
I really hate braking to take it comfortably as I could use the speed on
the other side.  My question is: will this damage my bike, in particular
the headset?  My body is quite able to take the hump at speed, out of the
saddle with my weight shifting back and forth to minimise the strain on
both me and the bike.
