Question on geometry

Should I head to my local bike place to see if I am sitting where I should, saddle adjustment and such



Ive been using Strava, just to calculate speed.
Im 6'3
230 lbs, trying to get back to 210.

On the 20km rides (thats what im doing about 20k) flat, no hills, Im averaging about 24 25 km/h with a top speed about 34 km/h.

This morning 3 guys zipped by my going like 35kmh and when I caught them 10 minutes later at coffee, they were all like 180lbs in weight. I guess I have 50 lbs on them and that is a lot. But Im wondering if maybe my bars are too low or my seat pitch is off.

Either way and thoughts????

I have regular pedals. I dont want clip in. I could buy baskets.
