Why a Proper Bike Fit Matters (For Racers and Endurance Riders)
A professional bike fit isn’t just about going faster, it’s about comfort, efficiency, and injury prevention.
Whether you’re racing the Berkeley Omnium, grinding out winter base miles, or logging long endurance rides, a proper fit can:
Reduce or eliminate knee, back, neck, and shoulder pain
Improve pedaling efficiency and power transfer
Increase comfort on long climbs and long days in the saddle
Improve balance, stability, and control
Help prevent overuse injuries
For racers, marginal gains matter.
For endurance riders, comfort and sustainability matter.
A great bike fit delivers both.
Real Rider Experiences from Berkeley Bike Club Members
“I went for a bike fitting for my Aethos and couldn’t be happier with the process and results. John took his time to understand the issues (shoulder and back pain) I was having. A properly fitted bike makes a huge difference in comfort and pedal efficiency. Since the fitting, I’ve done more climbing without back pain—I rode Mt. Diablo and Morgan Territory last Saturday—and my pedal stroke feels smoother.”
– KC
“John is amazing!!!! New saddle and handlebars, shims in my shoes, and an overall bike fit that stabilized my riding position, eliminated pain in my knee and back, and increased my power significantly! Plus, he’s a great guy to hang out with for a few hours while he works his magic!!!!”
– Dilan Roe
“John did a great job setting up all parameters on my new road bike—seat height, setback, and more—as well as adjusting my cleats, which resolved a power imbalance between my left and right legs. He’s got state-of-the-art equipment and diagnostic tools to help create a perfect fit.”
– Dan Greene
