I have to wonder whether his use of 'saddle' isn't metaphorical? I know he probably didn't mean riding a horse"
?! Of course Churchill's not talking about horses! He's talking about bicycles! Haven't you seen those photos of Churchill sprinting up L'Alpe d'Huez against a very young Coppi in the 1936 TDF? Or the ones of him smoking a big ole' stogie on the winner's platform? I think he took three stages of the Giro that year...
