Are you comfortable on your bike?
A full bike fit is the best way to make sure that your bike is working for you. Whether you are seeking more power and efficiency, you have a specific problem, or you just want some help to navigate through the minefield of internet advice(!), Doug can help guide you towards the best solution for you.
Doug’s background as an ex-elite bike racer and sports massage therapist gives him a broad depth of knowledge from which to help his clients. This is not an identikit, computer algorithm led process. We know that finding your most comfortable position can be a journey so all of our bike fitting clients are welcome to come back for further adjustment and analysis if needed within a reasonable time period.
Our bike fitting service benefits from the support of a professional workshop here at Lovelo, and we have a carefully chosen range of products that, through our own personal experience, we have found to produce good results for our clients.
