Are you stand up rider?

Newbie

I heard that some people stand up when they ride. Is that true? I find this difficult to believe. Why on earth was saddle invented for? I mean, you are supposed to sit and pedal as fast as you can. Right? I don’t see why you should stand up and ride that way. Are you stand up rider?

Yeah, I stand up sometimes. It makes it easier if you do so when you climb hills or have some difficult ascent. Thus you use your bodyweight to push the pedals. It saves a lot of energy on difficult parts of the road so that you will have more energy later, especially at the finish. You should try it sometimes and you will see the difference.
