Thanks Jobob, this is what I was actually refering to. I was wondering if since women have hips and we tend to swing our hips when we walk, if it's also inherent in our build that maybe we move our hips more when we ride or something. It was always my impression that you generally want to keep your upper body still, as if it's constantly shifting with each pedal stroke, it's a waste of energy.


And, ladies, totally OT, not that I agree that it was the best use of our scientific resources, but vaigra was invented for our benefit too.
