Getting to know who you are as a cyclist is a crucial step to optimizing your bike fit. We will discuss your injury history, current discomforts, goals and riding level/type.

In order to fit your bike specific to your body, we need to know your physiology and body mechanics. Here we assess your alignment, mobility, strength/stability, and functional movement patterns.

Bike fitting is a methodical, personalized process optimizing each contact area on the bike to fit your specific needs. A dynamic evaluation assesses your pedaling technique, control, alignment, and symmetry. Adjustments are made making incremental changes while closely monitoring your physical body's physical response and your subjective feedback. 

Cycling is an extremely repetitive motion that requires specific amount of symmetry, strength, and flexibility/range of motion. During the physical assessment and bike fitting process, we will find areas that could benefit from off the bike mobility/strength work to further improve your cycling efficiency and comfort and reduce your risk of injury.

Bike fitting is a process and typically not a one time event. To test your new position, you need to ride in your new position for 4-6 weeks in the "real world." As your body adapts to your optimal position, your fit may need to be further dialed in with micro-adjustments.
