The Western saddle was made for the cowboys, who needed something to help anchor the rope to after roping a cow. This is where the Western saddle was invented, designed for comfort for long days of hard riding in the saddle, and for usefulness, which is why it has all the little straps to tie things to, perfect room for saddle bags and such, and with the saddle horn having the direct purpose of dallying the rope. The English saddle was not used by cowboys, and therefore, there was no use for a saddle horn, so there is nothing there.
For the cowboys, who needed something comfortable and easy to stay in for many hours each day. They also needed a saddle horn to "dally" the rope around when they had to drag a calf to the fire or something.
For full sized bicycles, seated pedaling saves some effort. For jumping and rough riding the saddle can be pinched between the legs to add control to the bike. If you land hard, ending up on the saddle is likely to hurt less than slamming into the frame or the wheel.
