And why do they put the padding in the pants instead of the seat?

It's for when they run a red light and some guy in a car knocks them over and repeatedly kicks them in the ass.

Up here when there is an intersection with a right turn lane, the bike lane just goes straight up to the intersection and people turning right have to cross the bike lane to get into the turn lane. I don't know how many cyclist have been run over as a result of that little bit of genius, but I'd bet it's quite a few.

Don't even get me started on bike messengers. Talk about a death wish!!
