A quick check shows these angles - Someone is bound to say your seat is too high.

Actaully, I tend to ride like that regardless of seat height.

Looking at that, though, it looks like the hip angle is open slightly more than 90, which suggests that he could go slightly lower in the front. But overall not bad.

I'd have to agree. Your supposed ideal knee angle is 150-155 degrees. Also toes are pointed downward.

Thanks those angles help. What program did you use to calculate those?

It's called Microsoft Visio (kinda like a simplified CAD program). We have it here at work. I just copy/paste the image into a blank sheet and superimpose the lines over the picture. It's real easy and only takes few seconds.

You need to work on correcting that part of your form. The heel should push, not the toe.

you're still hot! :) By your comments, I'm guessing you're either a lawyer, engineer, or patent attorney??!?!? Wait, we're supposed to be talking about your bike position, no? ;)

Kestrelkerri notwithstanding, if the sister-in-law with the massive porn collection has a sister, then I'd suggest dating her. Maybe it runs in families.

A sampling of some other, decent riders, who need to 'correct' their form. Pedaling dynamics are very personal. There is wide variety in what people do in regards to heel up or down (though a vast majority of the worlds best time trialists maintain heel up throughout their cycle).

So we should put our pedal cleats on the heels of our shoes and pedal backwards then? Nothing like good "internet expert" advice!

If you lower your seat you'll beable to shift your hip position better so you can flatten your back more and probably be more comfortable.
