<sarcasmAllowed='true'>What`s the purpose of a saddle on a bike? I mean it is just ridiculous don`t you know that standing is the best position to ride in?

 

 

Careful now. From some of the pics Kamikaze is posting, I don't think he does see the need for a saddle either.

Actually Gummi has an interesting point about hand protection.

 

Bar ends would provide additional hand protection.

 

Never thought of that up until now.

mate of mines wife has bad arthritis in her hands -she rides with various bar end add ons to make cycling easier - a bit like the one's in this pic. Can't imagine riding anything too technical with all that pokey stuff on the bars - imagine impaling your knee on the rear facing bits...
