What is bike fitting?

Bike fitting is the process of adjusting a bike to the rider in order to optimize comfort, performance and efficiency while minimizing risk of injury. A bike fit optimizes the rider's position at that point in time, so with changes in training, an injury/surgery, positive/negative life events and more, the bike fit will often need to be updated.

Who Needs a bike fit?

Everyone who rides a bike should consider a bike fit! Whether you are doing the occasional "breakfast ride" or are riding hundreds of miles per week a properlly fitted bike can make a huge difference.

"Excellent. The combination of being a certified bike fitter and a physical therapist allows Tim to provide a service that you just can't get elsewhere. Tim not only makes sure of a good bike fit, but also makes an assessment of weaknesses and provides you with an off-the-bike exercise program to help correct those weaknesses. I'd recommend Tim's service to any serious cyclist."

"As a long time rider, I can't believe the change after my first bike fit! Tim is professional, super knowledgeable, and very chill. His doctorate in physical therapy definitely compliments his ability to find the perfect balance between your body and your bike. Thanks Tim!"

"Tim is insanely thorough and clearly very knowledgeable about how to get you to be the most comfortable and efficient on your bike. He fitted me before I rode from SF to LA with AIDS/LifeCycle, and I got through the entire ride with ease. If you’re looking for a bike fitting, Tim’s your guy."

"Consulted Tim regarding fit the of my first Tri bike and on/off bike nutrition to reach my targets. Tim was very professional and also super friendly in understanding my goals and answering my questions. Was super detailed and meticulous in his recommendations and action plan as well. As a first time Tri-bike user, I really needed his input to have a good start. Definitely recommend him."

"Fantastic experience. Tim took the time to listen to all my concerns even before the fit to make sure the fit experience was as efficient as possible. Great off the bike assessment prior to anything which helped pick out some issues. His Physical Therapy background really comes through during that portion. On the bike assessment was very complete. After a few adjustments I’m no longer overloading my hands and rides are much more comfortable. Highly recommended!"
