Good article! It leaves me wondering whether fit is of any importance. :p

Pelvic tilt may also be influenced by fatigue in the hamstrings or gluteals as a result of prolonged hill climbing or pushing big gears. Again, this may cause a backward tilt of the pelvis, further straining the back muscles.

This makes sense in my case, since I am riding as many long hills as possible to try to keep my cardiovascular fitness up as much as I can until I am able to resume running. I feel like when I tilt my pelvis back farther, though, it feels better.
I'm sure my bike is not an ideal fit. My wife picked it up off the shelf at Wal-Mart. I probably need a road bike versus a mountain bike as well, since I've only ridden on trails one time since I've had it. OTOH, some of the streets in my area are crappy enough to be considered offroad.
