Please allow approximately 2.5 hours for this service.

During your personal 4-Star Cycling Analysis, our detailed interview protocol is used in an effort to focus on your individual background, cycling style and personal goals. Using quantifiable data gathered from range of motion, structural and stability assessments, we’ll optimize your bicycle and equipment, leading to perceptible improvements in comfort and an overall happier cycling experience. In addition, you'll ride faster, longer, and in greater comfort with a reduced chance of injury.

Personal Interview We begin your appointment with a detailed interview and document and discuss your cycling history, injury history, cycling induced discomfort, personal goals and any positional concerns you’d enjoy reviewing. We pay close attention to your contact points on your bicycle.

Physical Assessment The assessment of a rider’s range of motion, body structure, functional / structural asymmetries and stability provides a critical guide to what position one’s body will effectively embrace on a bicycle. Included is a thorough static and dynamic foot analysis. One’s feet are the final contact point as force and power are applied to the pedals. We seek improvements in foot stability for improved alignment, biomechanics, power transfer comfort and injury prevention.

Ride Analysis In an effort to further review your biomechanics and gather additional postural information your cycling position with be assessed on your bike. This provides additional information to optimize your position and personal equipment.

Fitting Once your physical assessment and ride analysis are complete we’ll personalize your bike position and equipment choice. It’s not uncommon to need a new saddle, stem, shoes, footbeds, etc. to optimize your cycling experience. Any changes in your position and equipment will be reviewed in an effort to match your needs and budget. We’ll advise you all along the way so you feel informed and part of the decision making process.  In the end, your bike will be perfectly tailored to your body.

Follow-Up A follow-up phone consultation will be scheduled to review your adaptation to your new position on your bike. We’ll answer any questions which may arise and provide guidance on how to get the most out of your bike.
