Miss Manners says you should always ride with good posture:&nbsp\\; that means sitting up straight, shoulders back, stomach pulled in, and as someone else has already said, pinkies extended.&nbsp\\; [sm=joke.gif]

There isn't really an answer that will fit everyone.

You should be relaxed and comfortable, and there are things that may make it better. You could possibly change the bars, but a simpler and cheaper solution would be to get some pullback risers. An inch or two should move the bars back so that you are more upright and shouldn't require that you change any cables.

Ditto that, and a Sundowner seat.&nbsp\\; The Sundowner seat will move you forward a bit, and provide support for your back.&nbsp\\;
