BIKE FITTING

The bicycle is the most efficient human-powered vehicle ever devised. We want to ensure this is true for you. Don’t let your local bike shop guess your size by simply standing above the top tube of a bike. There is no such thing as a “quick fit”. At Swim Bike Run NYC, we take multiple factors into consideration, such as injuries, asymmetries, and your short and long term cycling goals. We understand that your riding style and habits impact your body’s range of motion and we adjust your bike fit accordingly.

Swim Bike Run NYC has become renowned for fitting services. Our clients have ranged from all backgrounds and experience levels in cycling. We have fit “Top 10” Ironman athletes, as well as fitness enthusiasts looking to achieve a better understanding of just how comfortable their first bike can be.

Why is Fit So Important?

Fitting a bicycle is not the same as sizing. Fitting is a process that allows a trider to understand his or her body. It will show you your strengths, your limitations. It will give you a greater understanding of where your fitness is today and what it can be tomorrow. Understanding this is key. The next step is to optimize your bicycle to create a geometry where your position is natural, powerful, and compliments your abilities as a cyclist.

Understanding your fit

Bicycle fitting is an interactive process. To optimize one’s position there are many aspects that need to be taken into account. The rider, fitter, and bike all have a piece of what is necessary to create a good fit. It takers a dynamic interaction with the fitter, and constant feedback from your body to see just what works and what doesn’t. Our goal is to have you leave our Fit Lab with a position that compliments your ability as a cyclist, as well as necessary knowledge that can be used throughout your cycling lifespan.

We are F.I.S.T. Certified Tri Fit Technicians

ROAD BIKE FIT

Triathlon vs. Road vs. Time Trial

A bicycle is a tool, and not all bicycles are made the same. Every bike serves a different purpose. To some it may be the tool they need to live an active lifestyle, to others it’s tool that keeps them competitive in their races, and to some it’s the tool that gives them an aerodynamic edge over the competition. Regardless of the purpose you have there is a bike designed to make your goal a reality.

TRIATHLON BIKE FIT

Over the past few years triathlon has seen incredible growth. It has evolved from a fringe sport to a lifestyle that millions of people worldwide share.

In this 90 minute session, a F.I.S.T Certified Technician will discuss your history, goals, areas of concerns, and desired outcomes. Your bio mechanics, flexibility, core strength, and range of motion are then assessed. Your position will be optimize according to F.I.S.T protocol. You will leave the fit studio with a greater understanding of the advantages a triathlon specific fit will give you come race day and the potential changes that the fit may receive depending on how you grow as an athlete.

TIME TRIAL BIKE FIT

Similar to the Triathlon fitting. This option is for those who race in events where ICU limitations may influence what is an acceptable geometry. We will first optimize your position according to protocol, then conform the position to a ICU legal geometry. That way you can focus on your race and not on whether or not your geometry can be called into question.
