Thanks everyone. That helps alot because for awhile there I kept thinking I was the only person this would happen to. Is it hard on the knees to lower it for awhile? Just curious. I mean it can't be any harder on the knees than my mountain bike. How long until you start to raise up the seat? Just when I feel really good then take it up a little bit and just keep going till I've mastered it and have my "black line" back in place? Maybe that is what I will try. Yes I am going to get the flat pedals. That should help. then I will only ride around my neighborhood and on the bike path...eventually hoping to get to where I can ride anywhere (that has a road).

You guys have given me the hope I need and I will share my next ride once I get my pedals swapped out.
