Frequently asked questions
Below you'll find answers to questions I often receive in regards to bike fitting, cycling PT and training. If you have any other questions feel free to reach out to me directly!
How do I pay?
Cash, cash apps (Zelle/Venmo), and credit cards are all accepted.
How are the fit results shared?
The fit results will be emailed to you within 72hrs of your fit via email, which includes a PDF of the fit numbers and exercise suggestions to aid in your overall goals.
What is the follow up like?
Follow up appointments are upon request and are charged at a slightly reduced rate compared to the initial fit. All riders are encouraged to email/text Tim with any questions in regards to their fit at any time.
What makes a good bike fit?
Tim's bike fitting process pulls from both his expertise in Physical Therapy as well as his training as a bike fitter. Tim believes the most critical component of bike fitting is consistent and clear communication with the rider. Tim takes the time to get to know the rider including their injury history, current life demands, and aspects that impact performance/recovery such as sleep, nutrition, and stress. Tim also gets to know how the rider moves off the bike by performing a functional movement assessment which Tim uses to provide exercise suggestions to the rider after the fit. Finally, performs an on the bike assessment which visually assesses and tests the rider's position all the while making sure to get feedback from the rider along the way. Bike fitting is not a singular event, it is a process and requires follow up even after the fitting is complete to ensure optimal results.
Why do Nutrition, sleep and stress matter for a bike fit?
Sleep, nutrition and stress management are fundamental components of health, and health is a prerequisite to performance. As a Physical Therapist, Tim considers improving the health of the rider as one of the most important pieces to improving their riding experience, and arguably is more consistent in improving one's performance on the bike than the fit itself. Overall, the goal is to consider the entire person, not just them as a cyclist.
