Default Seat vs Thighs


I have been having a problem while attempting to wheel walk, a fair
amount of the time I can pull it out and get my stomach on the seat, but
sometimes I can't get it out between my legs, and when I yank hard
enough it flies out from under me, are there any suggestions on what I
can do to avoid this??

When you say wheel walk do you mean hand wheel walk? It kind of sounds
like your talking about seat in front? Is seat in front what you meant?

Time it. As the pedals come level, momentarily spread your knees a
little and pull it out then. Level pedals is when you have the most
space.

Watch out for baggy shorts or wide, grippy seats.

If you ride usually ride with your foot centered on the pedal, slide
your feet back so you are riding on the balls of your feet before you go
to seat out. This will give you added height as you go "tippy toe" when
you pull the seat out.
