As a cyclist I would speak with people all the time that had various problems when riding their bikes. Everything from sore backs, to knee pain, all because of the improper fit of their bikes. There was no step by step, easy to follow system available to do it yourselfers. There is so much conflicting information on line and in books that it makes it very difficult to know which method is correct. At Cycle Time a group of bike fitters and physical therapists have sorted through this information and selected methods for each adjustment based on consistent results that were easy to achieve. We then put all the information in a step by step, easy to follow format, and included all the tools required to complete the fitting. The end result is The Bike Fitting Kit. It has received national recognition from major cycling magazines, and is quickly becoming the preferred method for do it yourselfers.
If you are experiencing discomfort or stiffness during (or after) a ride, chances are, it is caused my improper bike fit. Even if you have never experienced pain or stiffness from riding a bike, damage may still be occurring. Bicycling is a sport of repetition. If you ride for four hours a week, you will pedal one million revolutions in a year. Even a slight misalignment can be causing damage that will cause problems later on in life. The key to pain free cycling for years to come is setting up your bike to fit your body from the start.
