Yeah, I knew this was going to be an issue going in. I think I know where they are right now, but not sure it'll stay that way. Will have to work on my organization.

Didn't consider this, but since my main use for them will be quick runs to the store or other short rides with the family to places I won't want to wear cycling shoes (which probably means I also won't want to arrive sweaty) I envision them mainly for rides under say 3 miles at a more or less relaxed pace so I'm not sure if having a too short of a seatpost will be that much of a problem. Definitely something to keep in mind though.
