I was always told that you should just be able to touch the balls of both feet on the floor either side, but this was nearly 30 years ago when I did cycling proficiency at school so it'ws probably best tolisten to some of the other lore being espoused on here 
. SUfficeient to say as other have that if you can get both feet flat the saddle's waaaay too low.
Pain above the knees, hmm. If it isn't sharp, needle-like stabbing pain but a more achey sort of sensation, then I am afraid you are finding one of life's great truths, one which I and I'd imagine a great many member son here have as well. Namely, that if you don't cycle for a long time then decide you're going to start riding a distane each day (however far it may be) you'll suddenly find you aren;t as fit as you thought you were
.
Please keep it up, it will get easier and you'll feel loads better for it
.
Oh, question for the other members, since when did saddle stem become outdated terminology? Seatpost sounds too BMX for me!
