Later on, it also allowed us to see predators at a distance and become the best long-distance runners in the animal kingdom, with our successful strategy being to chase prey animals in a low energy way for us until they were too exhausted to fight back.
My take on the evolution of bipedalism(And this is pure speculation on my part) is that it arose after we invented weapons. And it allowed us to run after our prey whilst carrying said weapons.

If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
