Silly observation

I've been meaning to write about this for a while and as usual it has nothing to do with IT - but why do men and boys on BMX bikes have their saddles so low?

It really does annoy me for no logical reason whatsoever. It doesn't matter how tall the guy is, the saddle is so ridiculously low that a child of 3 could touch their feet to the floor.

If they do ever sit down and peddle, their knees usually end up smacking them in the chin. WHY?

Also I find the 'BMX pose' really annoying when they are coasting along the road. Do you know the one I mean? Leaning to one side, one leg bent ridiculously and the other straight.

If anyone has the answer - please do share!
