Re: my suspicions that I'm on the wrong size bike: just measured myself and the calculator says I should probably be on a 58 cm. My bike is a 54 cm. That's less than 2" of difference so I don't even know if it's a big deal? And measuring myself at home with a tape measure is not super accurate?

But, yeah, might make a difference to get myself on a bike that fits better.

Two inches is one size, give or take; and that would definitely make it the wrong size bike.
My last bike, a hand-me-down, was a size smaller than my current bike. And while it was ok for me to ride, it was never comfortable, and it was too squished together and if I rode for more than an hour at a time I started to get a backache; but most importantly, maybe, this bike feels much safer; the other one was too close together.
