I want you to do something for me. Take a moment, and add up everything you’ve spent on your bike, all of your accessories, gear,  nutrition,  repairs, etc.  This might take some time, I’ll wait………

Ok. Welcome back.  Do you have a number in mind?  Good. Now, how much did you spend having the bike professionally fitted? Was it done at all?  If you did have the bike fitted to you, how long ago was it done?  Are you the same rider that you were when the fitting was done?

A professional bicycle fitting is not a luxury, only suitable for high end road bikes or people with too much money.  Whether you ride a three hundred dollar hybrid on the Mcalpine Greenway, or Assault Mtn Mitchell on a five thousand dollar carbon road bike, you deserve a bicycle that fits you.  You deserve a bicycle that you can ride comfortably and efficiently.

A quick informal round of calls to local shops shows that a proper fitting will run anywhere from $60 to $150.  There are a variety of schools of thought on exactly how to fit a bicycle, incorporating everything from lasers and computers, to standing over a spring loaded stick that crams into your….well…you get the idea.  The good news is that no matter what kind of fitting service you go to, the end result is almost the same: a properly fit bicycle.  I have met almost every bicycle fitter in Charlotte, and have not met a single one that I would not trust to personally fit me to any of my bicycles.  You will be in good hands, no matter where you go.

We offer fittings by appointment, for $59.99.  That price includes any follow up sessions that may be required for 12 months, free of charge.  We have three professionally trained, and certified, bicycle fitters on staff, and can schedule a fitting around your schedule, not ours.  We can make you faster, more powerful, and more comfortable on your bicycle.  Please stop by the shop or call to ask us about the service and setting up an appointment.
