How can you fine tune your position on your bicycle? You can roughly adjust your position with bare eyes, calculate with your body measurements, asking a bike fitting App or attending a computer simulated bike fitting session. But in real road conditions that is all ridiculous. Real cycling is different. Real cycling is beautiful, is tough, is authentic. 

It is not about theoretically maximizing for speed on a bicycle trainer. You become a road cyclist when gravity slows you down uphill or makes you gaining excessive speed down hill. When fast reaction is an issue. On demanding road surfaces with potholes. When head wind blows in your face or crosswind plays with your rims and the handlebar. When low temperatures make you wearing more cloth. When the sun makes you thirsty and sweating makes your clothes wet - then sitting on a saddle is different. After some hours of riding, your body starts complaining. You slowly start wondering why cyclists tell each other cycling is fun. You ride on lonely roads for hours and need some position change once in a while. Roads with traffic - for your safety you better control what's going on in front of you instead of putting your head far too low and just trusting other traffic members blind. You know why you should learn to fine tune your position yourself. For speed maybe, but for sure for feeling good and being safe on the bicycle.

Position on a road bicycle is very individual. It is a dynamic process. Age, being more or less in shape, high season and off season, temporarily a little overweight, work life balance. It is not a one day event. It is something only you can find out and you have to do.

It is you. It is easy. You just need some ideas about: why and how to.
