Because my bike works fine. And is more fun.
Anyone else hate when they feel "forced" to use the car?

Is it me or your saddle's nose is slightly rotated to the left?
I had to go check, but it's mostly just from the weird perspective of the picture. The box not being straight, bike leaning, and handlebars leaning to the right. But, my saddle was actually slightly left... but only by like 1mm at the end of the nose. But maybe that's exactly what you saw ;)
some people just have to do that to be comfortable, idk if my hip is twisted or something is up with my bike, but i need to nudge my saddle ever so slightly to the left for it to feel right.
I mentioned it because it happens with one of my bikes, and after almost 2 years with it I haven't been able to pinpoint out exactly why is this happening, not even changing saddles - my butt kinda keeps sliding to the left in that bicycle. So that made me extra conscious about rotated saddles, misaligned wheels and stuff like that
Maybe you guys have just different enough leg length that it changes the comfortable angle of pedaling?
