I assumed there was such a thing, as there is in other sport activity's, but maybe bicycling is not technique oriented. I've got a bike now and will experiment with different postures to see what works well for me.
Posture: I was told that the flat back is better than the curved, hunched back. Its supposed to allow for better breathing from the diaphram. Also it allows for a more relaxed neck position since the flat back gets you up higher. Finally, it allows the rider to turn the head from side to side when looking back to make lane changes.
