Why would removing a saddle bag make her more pro ?
Yeah i know the pros dont use them but they have a support car , saddle bags are great for tubes, levers, multi tools , house keys etc leaving the jersey pockets room for gilet, phone, energy bars etc .

Haha yes yes very good! 
Its a necessity to be actually able to stand though, 100miler fully seated is going to hurt

I think this thread needs the input of @Telemark and @phantasmagoriana both very competent cyclists.
What do you think about the op, girls? I mean the original post, not the original poster

Appreciatte your input cyber.
How many tyre lever"s" do you need exactly? What ever floats your boat though
Personally I learnt to do without them growing up so don't need them. For the tough days you have 2 perfectly usable quick releases that work. Depending on design obviously now there's going to be a troll whose gonna bum rush about QRs but whatever

Risky not riding with a pump though wouldnt you say? How many tyre lever"s" do you need exactly? What ever floats your boat though

Depending on design obviously now there's going to be a troll whose gonna bum rush me rather than thank me saving them carrying 6 tyre leavers around in saddle bag.
I am bemused that you ride hundreds of miles and are not prepared , and yes of course i carry a pump but i was not trying to insult you by statingthe obvious but it seems you delight in insulting others.

I have ridden 11 miles with a friend who got a flat and neither of us had any tools or money, so we rolled his tyre off and stuffed it as solid as possible with grass. Got him home, although he said it wasn't very comfortable.
No it isn't.
My hundred milers are all fully seated. The 105Kkm audax I did at the weekend at 30kph average (18.4mph) was all seated. The only time I ever stand is if I get caught in the wrong gear at a stop I wasn't expecting. I ride faster up hills than guys who stand up. Standing up is just a great way of getting tired legs, and is utterly unnecessary.
I am not sure there is not some trolling going on here, what do others think.

Edited. Didnt mean to be a twit with you. simply cannot help myself after meeting 400bhp and other such characters.
How am I unprepared if I can change a tube without a lever? Or do you mean something else?

Here's a quick video I made. Found it hard enough getting into her mucked up style. Its a much deeper squat than i could do putting all weight onto quads in escense like rob3rt said about sprinter stance. Rather than simply crushing the pedals with body weight and a little bit of quads.
Easier to see on video further down the street
PS yes my stems too short and the BB click is fixed
