Wondered
The answer I gave is the actual answer, notwithstanding the humorous phrasing. It's not an uncommon problem, as swinging a leg over either the saddle or the bars can become problematic as hips degenerate. Back in the olden days, there was one old bloke who famously had to lay his bike down on the grass verge and climb through the main triangle before picking the whole thing up between his legs, as that was the only way he could get aboard. He was fine once he was on.

It's for old people who have trouble getting their leg over.
