Do your toes touch the ground?

I can just reach the floor with my toes if I move forward in the saddle. I tend to lean on my left foot when stopped at traffic lights with my right foot on the pedal ready to set off. I think my seat height is OK, I did keep getting pain above my right knee when riding recently, but that seems to have stopped fortunately.

after stalking this thread yesterday, i got up this morning with it fresh in my mind and took some time to fettle with the road bike. it had crossed my mind that my riding position was a bit cramped and that i was shifting about on the saddle far too much...result? raised my saddle height by 30mm and shifted it aft by 10mm...result of that? much more comfortable :thumbsup: didn't have time for a proper ride but i imagine my riding will be quite a bit more efficient now too...can i touch the ground when sat in the saddle? only by a whisker. CC does it again. thanks as always lovely people.
