The photo that Robow posted reminded me that a friend of mine snapped a few photos of me, one attached below. In this one I have my hands on the tops of the bars so this is my most upright posture on a bike. If my hands were on the hoods, I would probably be leaning forward at about the same angle as the guy in the photo in the first post. The photo looks like I am going uphill, but I think the camera was rotated slightly, I think the ground and road was nearly flat, thus I probably have a bit more lean than it appears.



I have my touring bikes and road bike all nearly identical for relative positions of pedals, bars and saddle (the body contact points), my rando bike is slightly different as that has about an extra inch of reach.
