I don't think you should offer that with so sure and objective a tone. It's perfectly safe and acceptable for a bicyclist to have his seat adjusted such he may touch part of each foot to the ground when stopped — depending on the bike and the type of riding, I'd say it's even much preferred to a saddle so far off the earth either of the rider's feet always is at least several inches from the ground.
