The ability we now have to actually "look" into a working brain has yielded phenomenal results. We don't have to dedicate our lives to the monk's lifestyle to change our brain STRUCTURE for the better. I am sure in time someone will discover why cycling is so "magical" for many people.



that is a road Race bike saddle, racing the weight is off your bumm, put into the pedals,
to keep up with the pace..

the B17 is a tourist's choice, yoy are turning the pedals more comfortable effort,
and sitting, more weight on your butt.

So riding posture: low vs upright has influence on how much weight % you have on your saddle.
