Bike Fit
What is a Bike Fit?
A customized assessment and biomechanical analysis of your body as it pertains to your positioning on the bike. Based on assessment findings, changes may be made to specific areas of your bike to create the perfect union between you and your bike. A properly fitted cyclist will be efficient, powerful, comfortable, and injury free.
An efficient and powerful position is one that enables the cyclist to pedal the bicycle effectively, without a lot of wasted energy and improper pedaling mechanics.
Being comfortable on the bicycle allows for the athlete's weight to be distributed between the saddle, pedals, and handlebars, so the skeletal system bears the weight instead of the muscles of the back and arms.
