Trying to get use to my road bike

[kat_h]

I don't know whats worse - being 30 lbs over weight in bike shorts or having regular shorts riding up.

I consider my own comfort to be far more important that what other people may or may not think of my appearance if they even care enough to form an opinion. No one has ever commented on my bike shorts, and even if someone did there are very few opinions I would care about.

For position on the bike - look at pictures and videos of riders to see how they're positioned in different circumstances. That's what made me realise my arms were too straight.
