Catrin, how has this been going for you? I'm having to learn this skill on my new road bike - I've always kept the seat low enough (too low) so my butt could sit on the saddle and my feet would touch the ground. I'm trying to learn this skill on my new bike now. (and the sheldon brown video/page is super helpful, thanks to the poster!). For me, it is far from second-nature and easy, but with a little (okay, a lot) of practice, it is possible. Just wondered how you were doing with it.

Not going very well, but my saddle is getting up there closer to where it should be. I seem to still be able to figure out how to start with my butt in the saddle - but the important thing is that my seat height is getting up to where it should be
Of course, until my leg heals, I am not doing much riding
The weather does help with that though, so it isn't as hard on me as when it was so nice!

I hope all is well Catrin. I took it slow too and raised my seat slowly each time. It will come - just believe. Don't worry about it or over think it.
I hope you heal soon.
