Bike Fitting at the West Hill Shop
It's all about finding the sweet spot on your bike!
Every bike rider deserves a professional bike fit. How you sit and how you fit on your bike determines how comfortable and how efficient you are. Muscles work best in an optimum range of motion. Outside that range, body tissues are strained, power decreased, and discomfort or injury more likely.
We can adjust your existing bike, size you for a new bike, or design a custom bike so that you're within the ideal range of motion for your muscles and within the limits of your flexibility. The result will be optimum comfort, efficiency and safety. A bike that fits well is just easier to ride.
Our bike fits are done by Todd Miller, PT, and Diny Sweitzer. Todd Miller is a physical therapist and athletic trainer with a Master of Science in human performance (exercise physiology and biomechanics). Todd has worked with cyclists since the late 1980s, including several National Champions, two Olympians and a World Champion.
