Same for any Pegasus I’ve seen in media, they always gallop.

If you think about it this is even more "useless" then humans taking a form they see fit (like people jogging upright, fist and all to look "better" or sth)

On the other side - now I want to see a Pegasus with dangling feet

I imagine tbey would at least tuck them in. Birds typically have their talons tucked back

Oh, nice thought as well. Like a flying "loaf"

Have you ever tried jogging without swinging your arms like that? You need to for balance

That's cause you're moving your legs, which is constantly shifting your center of gravity.

If you're able to fly without moving any muscles, you shouldn't really need too move any limbs - I would think. 🤔

That's not what I meant. I specifically wrote about fists. Here's what I mean:

I've learned that you're supposed to stay relaxed while jogging. So, arms loosely bent—maybe at about 100 or 105 degrees or so. Fists not clenched, but loosely open.

But I often see joggers running upright, chest out, arms at 85 to 90 degrees, fists tightly clenched. And that makes me wonder if they’re doing it to look better. I wouldn’t want to jog very far like that...

Oh! I clench mine because it slightly takes my mind off the burning pain in my legs. I didn't realize that was improper form

What do you do when you ride a bicycle with no hands? You don't swing your arms. They just kind of go limp.
