Funny how different people describe the same feeling in different ways. To me, sitting in a chair feels more like my pelvis is "back." Maybe "vertical" is a petter word, in reference to my lower back. The correct pelvis angle (to me) feels more like my pelvis is rotated "forward." If you imagine your pelvis as a bowl, I would say that the pelvis it sitting flat or "back" when sitting normally in a chair, but should be rotated "forward" some while cycling. Another way to say it is that it feels to me like your weight should be more on the "front" of your sitbones, rather than on the "bottom" of them.
Man, describing feelings is difficult!
