With your butt evenly on the saddle, and the ball of your foot on the pedal, your leg should be almost fully extended(just a little bit of bend in the knee) when the pedal is in its lowest position.

If that's not enough, look for a longer seat post(remember to match diameter), or buy a bigger bike.

∙ 6y agoDepends on the kind of bicycle.
for full-sized bicycles intended for seated pedaling, the saddle should be (close to) horizontal and high enough so that your leg is nearly straight when butt is in saddle and pedal is at its lowest.
Saddle height should NOT be set by distance to ground.
Fore-aft adjustment is trickier. A good place to start is:
- with the ball of your foot on the pedal
- the pedal forward-and-horizontal
- butt in saddle
The knee should be straight above the pedal axle.
