Of course inexpensive bikes come with pedals, but once you start looking at "good" bikes, the manufacturers do not include pedals, presumably under the assumption that the buyer may have a personal preference on which system they want to use. But should that be the case with saddles as well? Would it be too much of a hassle for the retailer, or would you prefer that manufacturers did not include a saddle so that you can buy the one you want, without having to deal with a trade-in offer or having to buy another?
