If the seat post is angled far back, like on an electra townie, most people can put their feet on the ground while sitting on the seat. That's more comfortable for many novice riders, older people, etc.
The cons include it being more difficult to stand up on the pedals, and having most of your weight on the back wheel, instead of spread evenly between the two.
