Stupid bike question!!!!?

[Jude]

I am an idiot, no, really I am!! I am getting a bike (bicyle, not motor!) and I know that obviously at some stage your feet have to touch the ground or else it would be impossible to get on and off it!!! Anyway, can your feet touch the ground when you are sat on the saddle??!!! I know it's a stupid question but I want to know!! Thanks xxx

If the saddle is adjusted right you should not be able to touch the ground while in the saddle. When you stop you need to go forward off of the saddle to touch the ground. This may help.
