Exactly. It depends entirely on your riding style. For navigating city traffic, or any situation where you're not going for all-out performance, a more upright riding position is beneficial. I'd take an upright position on a good sprung saddle over any hunched-over stance any day. Of course, if you're looking for comfort
and reasonable speed, you should look at buying or building a recumbent bike
