when your frame flexes during riding the bb acts as pendulum and counter acts weight above it, making the bike seem a little lighter, this can be most felt when sprinting, more force on the pedals= more flex= more pendulum, and your arms are pumping on the bars, which now feel like they weigh less due to the pendulum effect.
the more you know, the further you go.
