WE NOW OFFER A NUMBER OF BIKE FIT OPTIONS
Thanks for considering us for a professional bike fitting session.
Here at Bike Coach, we are considered to be one of the leading providers of bike fit services in Victoria. With sound knowledge and experience in the field we pride ourselves on offering a level of service that can be hard to come by in the industry.

TYPES OF CLIENTS
We have many clients who travel from across the state to seek our advice and expertise with bike fits. These clients often fall into two categories.
          1. The first category is a cyclist who is currently suffering from some sort of ailment or complaint that is preventing them from riding as often as they would like and may also impede cycling performance.
Often these clients are referred to us by medical professionals such as physiotherapists, myotherapists and sports physicians. Other times riders wish to use us as their first point of call. With our expertise we have helped many cyclists get back on their bikes and continue riding with drastically increased comfort, performance and reduced or eliminated levels of pain.
          2. The second category is a cyclist who does not currently suffer from any pain, but understands that a professional bike fit will ensure that they are seated in the most effective and efficient position on their bike which will guarantee that they put more watts of power through the pedals at a lower heart rate and importantly will be in a position which drastically reduces the risk of obtaining an injury caused by hours of repetitive motion in a biomechanically incorrect position.

COMMON PROBLEMS
The range of problems our clients bring to us is vast. The most common of these would be;
a) Sore lower back or neck  b) Numb hands or fingers   c) Sore shoulders   d) Pelvic asymmetry  e) feet rolling in or out   f) Burning sensations under their feet   g) sore or aching knees   h) male and female genital discomfort   i) sore achilles tendon   j) saddle sores

OUR METHOD & PHILOSOPHY
We are different from other bike fitters.
Many bike shops these days are starting to offer bike fit services in-store. In the past the area has been highly neglected and undervalued so it is great to see that customers who buy bikes get some level of positioning advise. Although better than nothing there are a few issues that you can run into with an in-store fit. Some of these include, pressuring you into buying

Bike Coach is NOT a bike shop. We do not give you a "free" bike fit as a means of convincing you to buy a bike that may or may not be the correct bike for you. We do have certain parts available for our clients to purchase if you wish, but if you still want to be loyal to your local shop, we will give you a list of suggested products that you will benefit from with detailed instructions of how to use them and set them up in the correct position.

You are getting a fully qualified and professional. Instead of a salesperson that has learned how to use a certain bike fit system or program at a shop, with Bike Coach you get professional that has studied and trained as a cycling coach, specialising in bike fitting. Bike Coach is accredited with the Australian Sports Commission, Cycling Australia and Sports Medicine Australia.

We do not use one of the marketed bike fit systems commonly available and widely used by bike stores. Many shops use measuring tools along with a software program to determine what your perfect fit will be. These systems are aimed to allow untrained employees of a shop to quickly take some measurements and come up with some magic numbers such as your seat height etc. From our experience, these systems are somewhat unreliable. For some cyclists they will come up with a fairly good fit, but many other riders will find that the fit does not suit them at all. The main reason for this is that these systems do not take into account variables like, riding style, past or present injuries, physical imbalance and flexibility just to name a few.
We do take certain elements and tools from different fitting systems and bring them together to be used in our own dynamic fit process. Being accredited with the Australian Sports Commission means that we are kept up to date with the most recent information in many areas instead of just relying on "traditional" methods and ideas.
