They don't exist for my pleasure, but I am allowed to find pleasure in them existing. Doesn't mean I have to stare at them, let alone get touchy.

Why wouldn't it? Looking at people, especially ones you're physically attracted to, is simple biology. After all, we're still pretty much primates, even if we humans are able to build and fly spaceships.

Yeah, you should remove the saddle and turn that thing around, then re-attach the saddle pretty much level. I would not want to spend more than half an hour sitting on that setup. You may be able to simply loosen the nut and turn the part that is currently clamping the seat post 180 degrees to the front, no need to remove the saddle from the clamp.

Rule of thumb is this: If you turn the pedals to a horizontal position (let's say the left one facing forward), the part of the leg just below your kneecap should be pretty much perpendicular to the pedal's axis. If your saddle is too far forward or backward, you will not be able to pedal efficiently. It's probably part of the reason why you cannot go very fast since you're unable to use the leverage of the crank arms that way.

About saddle height: If your saddle height is correct, you can turn one pedal to its lowest point and place your heel on it. If your leg is then just slightly bent (shouldn't be straight, but not a significant angle either), you're probably pretty spot on.

As an avid cyclist, I can say that those are just pretty good rules of thumb. With my experience as a rider, pretty minor adjustments make a big difference and I tweak new bikes or parts as I go based on how it feels. I also learned from bad experience (knee and achilles heel problems from too high a saddle, for instance), so what I wrote above is a good starting point for you until you start getting a feel for such things with more kilometers under your belt. Welcome to the club, champ!

Looks like the seatpost may be backwards, so you might be sitting closer to the handlebars and bottom bracket than you should be. Can you give us a picture from another angle, from behind and lower?

I read that as sarcasm. "Well of course Trump now blames the Democrats."

Because the "Google thought so" approach is legally problematic.

I have an old car and recently spent 60 EUR on a simple radio that has DAB and Bluetooth. Should have made that upgrade way sooner.

54 Prozent in Zahlen, bei 86 Prozent am Umsatz. "Was nix kostet, das ist auch nix" scheint hier das Motto zu sein und ich wundere mich über teils heftig gestiegene Ersatzteilpreise für meine herkömmlichen Räder.
