Bike Fitting in Richmond.
Your body assessed first, then the bike adjusted to match.
BIKE FITTING IN RICHMOND
Why clients in Richmond choose us.
Bike fitting at our Richmond studio starts with the rider, not the bike. Your physiotherapist assesses hip and knee mobility, ankle range, trunk control, and any injury history before touching the saddle height or cleat position. This sequence matters: fitting a bike to an unassessed body tends to make a compensation more comfortable rather than less present.
Sessions cover road, gravel, time trial, and mountain bike setups and run two to two and a half hours. Richmond has a strong cycling community, from the Steveston Dyke path and the South Dyke Trail to Sea Island and the Richmond Olympic Oval loop. Many of the cyclists we see train on those flat, high-cadence routes and develop hip flexor, saddle, or forearm complaints over longer rides. You leave with documented position numbers, a short home program for any mobility gaps the fit uncovered, and a clear explanation of every adjustment.
Richmond is flat and fast, which means cyclists here often log high kilometres and accumulate overuse patterns across the season. The fit session surfaces those patterns before they become injuries.

FAQ
Bike Fitting in Richmond: questions.
What makes a physio-led bike fit different from a standard bike fit?
+
A physiotherapist assesses your body before the bike is touched: hip rotation, knee tracking, ankle stiffness, and any injury that changes how you load the pedal. A standard fit works from the bike outward; this works from your body inward, so the position matches your anatomy rather than an average.
Do I bring my bike to the Richmond studio?
+
Yes, bring the bike causing the problem or the one you ride most. We put it on a trainer and use video to see your pedal stroke and position in real time.
Can a bike fit help with saddle soreness from long Dyke path rides?
+
Often yes. Saddle height, tilt, and fore-aft position all affect how weight is distributed through the sit bones and soft tissue. The fit session addresses all three contact points as a system.
