Riding your bike should be one of most enjoyable events in the world ... But ... Do you hesitate to ride for no apparent reason?
Sometimes it's a matter of comfort ... your back pulls ... your neck gets sore ... your knees ache ... your feet get numb. Any one of these issue is probably an indication of poor rider positioning on the bike that can be corrected by a proper Bike Fitting.
When you get your bike fit, I take the time for the individual attention required to properly set your bike to you ... Bike set-up is unique to every individual to get the maximum enjoyment out of your ride ... paying close attention to Comfort & Efficiency, while reducing the risk of any pain or potential injuries
