Bike Fitting
Everyone who rides a bicycle needs to have a proper fit. In fact, having a proper bike fit not only optimizes comfort while riding, but it also optimizes power output, as well as prevents injury. As important as having your helmet, shoes, and other accessories fit properly, a proper bike fit is the foundation for a better riding experience.
ProCycling has certified SICI and BG Fit specialists who’s goal is to assess the position of the rider through individualized measurements, and apply those measurements to create the perfect fit and position for the rider on the bike.
The Programs
Serotta International Cycling Institute was created by one of the first to analyze the biomechanics of proper bike fitting, Serotta Bicycles. There is no such thing as an “ideal position” generated by a computer software program. Based on your “personal blueprint” our SICI certified technician will work with you so you can achieve your cycling goals while taking into consideration all of your abilities and limitations.
Body Geometry Fit Integration Technology is Specialized’s proprietary system consisting of a trained technician, cutting edge tools, and a unique fit assessment process. BG Fit methodology will be applied to the rider, following a determination of the riders’ history, cycling goals, and individual biomechanics. Up to a dozen tests including extremity flexibility, hip, knee and foot alignment, and pedal stroke are used to determine your optimized fit.
The Details
Call the shop and schedule an appointment, which can be virtually any day and at any time. Your customized bike fit will take between 2-2.5 hours. The cost for your bike fit is $150, or $100 with the purchase of a bike.
What’s Coming Soon…
ProCycling currently uses tried and true fitting machinery consisting of a goniometer and plumb bomb, but will be taking receipt of a cutting edge Serotta Size Cycle sometime in May. This will have many of the leading edge technologies such as image capture and power changes to optimize your fit. But remember, the tools are only half of a bike fit. Having certified fit technicians is the other half, and ProCycling has invested in outfitting our technicians with the knowledge to gain such certifications.
