Posture

Just so I'm heading down the right track: my back and shoulders should kinda roll forward, as if I were slouching, right? And my hands and arms should be carrying my upper body weight, but with my elbows at an angle, so that it's not the bones carrying that weight, right? I'm trying to both dial in my bike and figure out this posture thing. Currently, I'm feeling a bit weird in the drops: I feel like my thighs are hitting my ribs, despite having the seat perhaps too high (if I put my heels onto the pedals, I'd have to rock my hips to pedal). I'm not used to a road bike, but I'm liking the speed of it.
