ESA Virtual Bike Fit Workshop for Youth Athletes
Live online bike fitting and cycling biomechanics training for students ages 12–18.
What Is an ESA Virtual Bike Fit Workshop?
The ESA Virtual Bike Fit Workshop is a live online educational program that teaches students ages 12–18 the fundamentals of bicycle fitting, cycling biomechanics, rider position, and bike setup. Students learn how the rider and bicycle work together through instruction, demonstrations, and hands-on activities they can complete at home.
ESA Bike Fit Workshop: Creating Optimal Movement for Every Rider
Learn practical bike-fitting and cycling biomechanics skills from home—and discover how those skills can be applied to cycling, community service, entrepreneurship, and future career interests.
Bike Fit AZ's ESA Virtual Bike Fit Workshop is a live online weekend program for students ages 12–18. Students learn how rider position, bicycle setup, and movement work together while developing practical skills they can apply to their own bikes and help others understand.
Our ESA-funded weekend workshop ($499) teaches kids how to fit bikes safely, improve performance, and start helping others in their community.
Section 1: Learn Skills. Help Others. Earn Income.
Bike Fit AZ’s Virtual Bike Fit Weekend Clinic is more than a cycling class — it’s a gateway to real-world experience and entrepreneurship.
Designed for students ages 12–18, this interactive online program teaches the science of bike fitting, body alignment, and cycling ergonomics. After completing the workshop, students can use what they learn to better understand their own bike setup, discuss fitting principles with friends and family, and explore opportunities to gain additional experience in cycling and bike fitting.
Led by Michael Lovegren, M.S. in Exercise Science (Biomechanics) and author of Bike Fit: Creating Optimal Movement, each live weekend session combines hands-on learning, real-time feedback, and practical tools to build future community leaders in cycling.
Students Will Learn How To:
- Apply foundational bike-fit assessment principles
- Understand saddle height, handlebar reach, and cleat position
- Recognize common bike-fit and rider-position issues (knee pain, back strain, etc.)
- Communicate bike-fit observations clearly
- Apply bike-fitting concepts to their own cycling
- Explore community service, entrepreneurship, and future career opportunities

Section 3: From Learner → Local Expert
After completing the program, students receive a Certificate of Completion and are encouraged to share their new skills with:
- Local bike shops and cycling clubs
- Friends, family, and neighborhood riders
- Community youth programs or fitness groups
We guide students on how to approach local bike shops, demonstrate their fitting knowledge, and gain hands-on practice — a great first step into biomechanics, health science, or sport performance careers.
