Interesting thought on saddle height. I do recall mention somewhere on these boards of a lower saddle straining the quads more without putting the hamstrings under stress, meaning that the quads develop but the hamstrings don't. Is it possible this could carry over into daily life, such like my problem above?

Another thought: Having a home office, I don't think I do enough walking. It's just sit and ride, sit and ride. I can't help but think that walking would be a good thing to increase, regardless. No?
