Collection: Fitting

“Bike fitting” is not using your inseam measurement to decide whether you should ride a small or a medium bike. Bike fitting is about manipulating the five contact points of the bike to suit the rider - because asking the rider to manipulate themselves for the bike, although commonplace, sounds uncomfortable.

A comfortable rider can put out more power, ride for longer and ultimately return to the bike more frequently. Bike fits are not just for professional roadies, they’re for the bedroom-based stationary bike riders even more so and everyone inbetween. Although the BikeFit process Twelfth City Cyclery works through focuses on feet as the foundation - those feet being clipped in - there are still three more contact points to address even if riding in steel-toes.

Even just for the assurance that you’re on the right-sized bike with the seat at the right angle Twelfth City Cyclery encourages every rider to go through at least one fit in their riding career.
