Our Story
We are cyclists. Cyclists who race bikes, commute by bike, and ride bikes just for fun. We are the cyclists that have an insatiable appetite for the latest innovations in bike technology. We are the cyclists that talk incessantly about bicycling accoutrement like they are politics. We are the cyclists that may bore the faint at heart with our discussions about lightweight wheels, frames, components, accessories, and aerodynamics. We are the cyclists who talk about how bicycle fitting and biomechanics have been over looked for so long, until now.
One wouldn’t buy a suit or a wedding dress without it being fitted or tailored, which will be worn infrequently. So, why would one ride a bike without it being fitted? When shopping for bicycles, people are forced to compromise on geometry, weight, aerodynamics, and affordability. But, we shouldn’t have to compromise on fit. Bicycle manufacturers take the average body sizes and make bikes that will accommodate the most people possible within a given frame size, which makes perfect sense from a business aspect. However the majority people shouldn’t be purchasing a bicycle right off the floor at one of the many bicycle shops in our town without some adjustments made.
We don’t have anything to sell you other than a proper position while on your bicycle, and advice about the best gear options based on our personal experience. We will analyze each client’s bicycling goals, bicycling style, past or present injuries, and past or present bicycling concerns… whether it’s discomfort or pain, or simply the desire to go faster or further.
