Interesting. If I sat that upright on a road bike, I'd have pain starting from from my wrists, going up the backs of the arms, across my the upper back and neck. We're obviously using different muscles. My back just drops into about a 46 degree angle, and if the handlebar doesn't accommodate it, there's conflict and pain. Obviously, there's more than one way to do it.
