Hi, welcome to BikeFitFinder.
I created this site as a cyclist of 15+ years who believes that more cyclists should be getting bike fits. I want this site to promote good bike fitters and to help cyclists make more informed decisions about choosing a fitter in their area.
A few years ago, I transitioned from a period of casual riding into more consistent training. I had tons of aches and pains as my riding time increased. My years of riding and racing experience were not cutting it when it came to setting up my bike. I had bike fits before, but I was no longer an early 20-something who could compensate for a vibes-based bike fit.
Finding the right bike fitter is not a trivial decision. I thought about what I needed:
- “I’m running out of steerer tube. Do I need to be sized for a new frame?”
- “I have foot pain. Do I need someone who can mold custom insoles?”
- “I only have pain on my left side. Do I need a physical therapist? Do I need a bike fitter who compensates for leg length discrepancies?”
- “I’m uncomfortable on my saddle. Who’ll have a good selection of saddles for me to try? Do I need pressure mapping?”
I searched Google. I clicked around all kinds of bike-related forums for recommendations. I checked out social media profiles, but there wasn’t any one centralized place that had good information about bike fitters, the services they offer, and their approach.
I ultimately found what I was looking for, but it wasn’t easy.
The new fit was a game-changer. I thought about all the performance, comfort, and enjoyment I had left on the table in my years leading up to that point. It wasn’t my first bike fit, but it was the first one that made a substantial difference in my riding.
That’s why I created BikeFitFinder. To help connect fitters and cyclists and get everyone feeling better on their bikes.
You could be a cat-1 racer looking for a bike fitter with a certain type of certification, a certain type of technology they use, a certain level of experience, or a certain philosophical approach.
Or, you could be a new, casual cyclist just looking for a quick and affordable sizing at a local shop.
Either way, I want BikeFitFinder to be a place where you can find the best bike fitter for your needs.
