Why Choose Our Bike and Body Fit Program?

Connecting Your Bike to Your Body for Optimal Performance

Cycling requires hours in the saddle, so it’s crucial to ensure you’re comfortable and efficient throughout your ride. Whether you’re on a road bike, gravel bike, or mountain bike, we assess various elements of your setup, including:

 

•Saddle height and fore/aft position

•Cockpit length

•Handlebar drop and rotation

•Pedal stroke evaluation

•Cleat adjustments and wedging for pedal alignment

By fine-tuning these and other components, we help you achieve the ideal fit. Cycling’s static position can lead to muscle imbalances and repetitive strain injuries. That’s why we don’t just evaluate you on the bike—we also assess how you move off the bike. Matching your body’s capabilities with your bike ensures optimal efficiency, comfort, and, most importantly, pain-free long rides.

Be Ready for a Physical Assessment

What to Expect

Your initial appointment lasts 2 hours and includes both the bike fit and a physical screening. Afterward, We use a series of physical screens, including squatting, wrist mobility and many others that directly relate to your bike body mechanics, ensuring you can fully utilize your muscles, strength, and mobility for optimal cycling performance. 

 

If any asymmetries or dysfunctional areas are identified, we’ll prescribe corrective exercises to help restore balance and improve your overall riding efficiency.

Your second session, 30 minutes long, will follow up on how the new fit is working and ensure you’re performing the exercises correctly. A final check-in two weeks later will help progress your exercise plan to keep you on track.

 

Your bike fit and physical screening will be performed by a Canada Bike Fit Certified physiotherapist, and it may even qualify as a physiotherapy session for insurance purposes. Be sure to bring your bike, cycling clothes, and shoes—your bike will be mounted on a trainer during the session.

Why is it important to have a physical Screen?

We believe in matching your bike to what your body can physically do, understanding that no two bike fits are exactly the same. We also emphasize the importance of addressing physical limitations, as improving them can lead to more efficient and pain-free riding.
