Very hard to observe this yourself. Riding along a line of store front windows, using those as a mirror can help, on an early Sunday morning say with low traffic and parked cars missing... But that will just show your basic position.
yeah, what is that with bow-legged cyclists? - I see them all the time
I think about my form when I ride, especially my core muscles. My helmet mirror shows me if I'm lifting my shoulders and I remember to relax them. I even occasionally look at my shadow.
