Not quite true; You claimed 2 more gears, more speed, yet it was "easier" (i.e. less energy spent)
"Laziness" is not really accurate! It is more like playing hard to get! I got the idea from the book "The Rules" where a woman
NEVER approaches a man when she is wants to get married! She waits for the man to approach her! We play "hard to get" at life
and life COMES TO US!
LOL, trying to live life like that sounds horrific. It isyou trying to live a whole life after a motto-like platitude. Some things you have to fight for to get it. You can't play "hard to get" with life. If you do, you will achieve nothing, and all you'll be doing is waiting (while not learning anything at all.).
You still haven't answered the rest of the questions that need to be answered in order to even entertain your idea a little bit. "Balance!" is simply not a good enough answer.
Edited to add:
Of you push hard enough on your pedals your rear lifts automatically. And if you stand completely, even more weight is on the pedals. Neither is "easier" than sitting on your saddle. That's what it's for. You don't do 50 miles (or 100) standing up - or even half standing up and think that's easier for your legs.
