Your biggest issue is probably your desire buy those race fit bikes when you don't really want a race fit. Or if you do, then you are going to have to do some work when you are off the bike to exercise your core muscles that get no exercise when you are on the bike. Glut bridges, pushups and other exercises for the shoulder girdle, glutes and lower back have done well to keep me comfortable in a much lower and aero position than what you are in the picture. It wasn't a big issue prior to retirement. As I was very active in all sorts of things. But retirement has me less active. So muscles need a good exercise program. I do recommend a gym membership. Though I get by doing my own thing. But it takes determination for some of us. And gyms sometimes can be a incentive to exercise.

If you do want a more upright position that your picture suggests, then look for road bike models that have a higher frame stack and are not considered race fit bikes.
