What is a Bike Fitting?
Proper fit and adjustment of bicycle equipment is essential in preventing injury and maximizing performance.

Benefits of a Bike Fit

-
Client-Centered Approach - We gather information related to your unique and personal cycling experience and combine it with the latest science and technology in bicycle ergonomics.
-
Critical Thinking - Rather than relying on a single bike fit system to make decisions for us, we problem-solve your bike fit process using all available tools and information to guide our decision making. This provides you with the most personalized bike fit possible.
-
Expertise- Our fits are performed by a cyclist and licensed physical therapist with advanced training in ergonomics, biomechanics, mechanical diagnosis, and structural assessment. In addition, our fitter is a Bike Fit Red Level Pro and has undergone the most extensive foot-pedal interface training in the industry.
Physical Therapy
If you have pain associated with cycling, you may be eligible for treatment, including bike fitting if your insurance covers physical therapy at Mission. Check with your insurance provider to see if physical therapy is an option for you, and schedule an appointment today.
Preparing for Your Bike Fit Appointment
It is extremely important that you arrive on time with the pre-fit paperwork completed. You can either fill out the Pre-Fit Questionnaire online or download, fill it out and bring it to your appointment. Any delay will result in decreased time spent with our fitter, and may require an additional follow-up visit to complete your fit at a later date at an additional charge to you or your insurance company.
Bring your bike, shoes, helmet, glasses, typical riding attire such as chamois and jersey. Bring any parts you wish to incorporate into the bike fit. If you are thinking about upgrading any parts such as pedals, saddle, etc....make sure this is completed prior to the fit as changing parts afterwards will require more adjustments, and may result in added cost to you or your insurance company.
