Never stand to peddle?

I find I just.. never stand to peddle; okay, maybe I also choose routes that don't have monster long climbs as I'm in a mostly fairly flat area....

.. but does anyone else just sit the entire ride?

I can stand and peddle but I find it not comfortable and I just don't ever do it. I'll do 80km, sitting and grinding it out.

If a hill is too much to get up on weakest gear, I'll just walk the last bit. (I'm older and fatter, so its a lot more watts to get up sometimes, and I watch my HR so I don't blow up). But as its flat, I just dont' do long climbs.. sometimes theres steep short ones, but no long multi thousand foot climbs.

Is 'always sitting' rare, or common?
