Agreed, also the saddle looks far more comfy than a conventional one. For boulevards only. A riding position like that makes it extremely hard to pedal on any kind on incline, even if it had a backrest. |

For the first time humans could travel faster than s/he could run or ride a horse. |

I don't think the safety was as fast as the ordinary initially, it was just a less hazardous way of going relatively fast, especially downhill. |
