Help! My rear end is glued to the seat!

Oh??? I just went back and read this. You're absolutely right! Sara, get that bike fitted right. You are holding yourself back with that and could really damage your knees on those hills you climb. Of course you can't get out of the saddle.

Can a grrl get a thank you?

I don't "dance in the pedals" often, but you should be able to if you want or need to. If a good shop says your bike fits and what others here have suggested doesn't work including just plain go out and fall down and get it over with look to strengthening your core/upper body.

But I'm very visual, arts background, read it and pictured the fit. It's worth checking out.
