It was something about building muscle... your butt getting harder so the hard seat wouldn't bruise, I think. I didn't pay a lot of attention. Cyclists have a lot of theories about a lot of things, most of them silly and/or extreme.

If they want to keep themselves from sitting, they usually just remove the seat and post altogether. Although my dad rode mountain bikes, not road bikes, so he never went that far. Getting hit in the ass with a metal pole while landing a jump would probably make you wish you were dead.
