Your comment about your knees hurting makes me wonder if your saddle is too low. While a low saddle makes it easier to mount and dismount the bike, it robs leverage from your legs and can lead to knee strain -- my left knee is particularly sensitive to saddle height.
Good point, I have agonized over the height and have it pretty high, and I think it's at the correct height, but I'll think about that. It's mostly just once in a rare while with the knee thing, bc my knees aren't the greatest. But I will check!
