What is a bike fit?

The purpose of a bike fit is to make a person as comfortable and efficient as possible on a bicycle. This is done by taking a few body measurements and then having the person ride.  (If you are looking for more information, we invite you to read a more in-depth, detailed description of what a bike fit is.)

Over the next hour or so, adjustments are made to the bike to make the rider as comfortable and efficient as possible.  Comfort comes from the rider’s subjective input, while efficiency comes from the fitter conducting body movement assessments and taking objective measurements.

Why get a bike fit?

If someone purchases a suit, they typically take it to the tailor so that the suit will fit them well and be comfortable to wear.  This analogy can be applied to bikes; if you purchase a bike and intend to ride it, why not make it as comfortable and efficient as possible to ride?  

Increasing one’s comfort on a bike can greatly enhance one’s ride experience, making bikes that much more fun to ride.  Riders can reduce their risk of injury by simultaneously decreasing stress and increasing efficiency on the bike; a bike fit helps ensure that the proper muscles are being utilized for movement while riding.

Who would benefit from a bike fit?

Anyone who rides a bicycle can benefit from a bike fit – from amateur, first-time riders to high-level, competitive athletes.  Everyone who rides a bike deserves to be as comfortable as they can be while they are riding.
