Cyclists spend hours on their bike. And serious cyclists will tell you that proper bike fit is essential to:

1- Produce the most power and efficiency
2- Increase strength
3- Decrease strain on the body and pain in the joints, legs, back, neck, and wrists.

A good fit can also help prevent overuse injuries. The correct position on the bike varies from person to person. Factors include:

1- Style of riding, and
2- A person's flexibility, strength, and competitiveness.

After a bike fit, our physical therapists recommend the best stretch and strength exercises that will enhance performance and prevent injury.
