Today I picked up my hybrid after her warranty tune-up, anyway, the bike dude noticed my seat was lower than before. He got me to do the "fitting" again and put the seat up a bit, he figured my wipe out last week bumped the seat down somehow.
I rode outside and immediately hated the higher seat. I felt like I was suddenly, well, much higher on the bike (duh) and I could only tippy-toe on one foot when my feet were off the pedals, that freaked me out so I went back in and asked him to lower the seat a little. He said the seat was at the perfect height for me (checked my knee position etc etc) but lowered it a little for me, since I asked. He then said "don't pedal too hard" I was confused by his statement. "wha??" "You'll blow your knees out with the seat that low" and made a "explody" motion with his hand.
Umm..I rode countless bikes that were never adjusted for me as a teenager etc and didn't "blow my knees out" though I have patella femoral syndrome in both knees (coincidence.) Anyway, is what he said true?
Legions of people out riding right now are mere miles away from blown knees?!?
