Discover how well your body and bike can work together. Whether you’re looking to address cycling-specific pain, maximise comfort on your ride, or eke out those last few watts in your next crit, we can help you adjust your bike so that it works best for you.
Every cyclist is unique and needs a fit tailored to their combination of body shape, flexibility, and strength. Our physiotherapists in Edmonton are experts at assessing the body and analysing motion. Together, we will find your perfect fit through a detailed biomechanical assessment both on and off the bike.
Key benefits:
- Eliminate pain
- Find your optimal position
- Increase performance
- Enjoy riding more!
To allow for a thorough assessment and proper fitting, bike fits are broken up into two separate sessions:
Session 1: Physiotherapy assessment (at Connect Physiotherapy & Exercise)
All fittings start with a 60 minute assessment. We’ll look at your mobility, strength, and any functional restrictions you may have around cycling. We’ll talk through your detailed riding history and cycling goals. You’ll get a targeted exercise program and manual therapy techniques to address any problem areas.
Session 2: Bike fit (at United Cycle)
During this two hour session, we get your bike dialled in, methodically working through adjustments to your shoes and cleats (or foot position if you ride with flat pedals), seat, and handlebars. As you’re riding, we’ll gather specific measurements of joint angles and positions. We’ll explain each and every change as we make it, and you’ll leave with a report detailing your bike’s new geometry.
Our goal is to adjust your current bike and equipment to its maximum potential, but we may also make recommendations on additional equipment to purchase so that in the future you know you’re getting the right gear.
Please note: All bike fits are completed on a Wahoo KICKR ROLLR trainer, and are compatible with:
- 700C road bikes and road tires
- Bike wheelbases (distance between centre of front and rear wheel) from 950mm – 1100mm
- Tire sizes up to 1.8 inches / 45 mm
(For more information, visit the Wahoo website.)
Please reach out if your bike doesn’t fit these specifications; we may be able to make special accommodations.
• Session 1 - Physiotherapy assessment: $150
• Session 2 - Bike fit: $190
Our bike fits are performed by a physiotherapist, and include a comprehensive clinical assessment, the identification of goals, and a formal treatment plan.
