Read somewhere recently that riding upright is more efficient than riding bent over but riding bent over is better in the wind or at speeds where perceived wind is a factor due to the force exerted upon a less aerodynamic upright riding position. That got me to wondering. Are bicycle frame designs influenced much by the intended riding position?

Addendum.



I was interested in bicycle design and the technical aspects of it when designing for drop bars, or upright riding positions. Things such as slacker angkles mentioned by anothr poster or if frames are longer etcetera.
