It's not just a matter of raising your seat?
It may mean that your seat is too far forward!
Assuming you have the correct frame size, in normal riding position the front axle should be obscured by the handlebars.
Try it!

I don't think you can pull a muscle like this but you usually really don't get efficient pedelling and you most likely fatigue very quickly. If it's a longer ride, these same muscles will most likely get sore. I would simply go to your local bike shop and ask them to adjust the seat height properly. They should do this for free. Once properly adjusted, your riding shoould be more enjoyable. Good luck.

Raise your seat ! You can hurt yourself with a seat that's too low ! You can damage your knees bigtime !

I find that riding with the saddle to low hurts the knees.
