The proper fit
The sport of cycling involves a highly adaptable human body and a semi adjustable mechanical device. The fit between the two is often the determining factor in the cyclists enthusiasm to continue riding. The common denominator of riders who enjoy and excel at the sport of cycling is an efficient position on the bicycle. The proper positioning allows the rider to be more comfortable, have better energy conservation, perform up to their potential and prevent overuse injuries that can result from poor alignment on the bicycle.
