I remember people going on about bike seat-sniffing, or 'sniding', as the then boyf called it,
back in the late 70s.

It was something that you teased your mates about doing when you got bored with accusing them of flashing.

Aaah, the innocence of youth.

I didn't realise it had it's own name.

According to the magisterial Profanisaurus
it has several names:

nurfing v. Garbooning (qv); nerding; pooming; shniffle-piffling; snaffling; snarfing; snarzing; snerking; snurdling; snurging. The (presumably very common) act of sniffing a lady's bicycle seat.

Interesting
to note the lack of 'sniding' in that list...
