Professional Bike Fit Workshop
Hands-On Bike Fitting Training in Cycling Biomechanics & Rider Position
Bike Fit Workshop: Creating Optimal Movement for Every Rider
Learn the science and practical application of professional bike fitting from Michael Lovegren, M.S., endurance coach, professional bike fitter, and author of Bike Fit: Creating Optimal Movement (2nd Edition). This hands-on workshop combines cycling biomechanics, movement assessment, rider position, and practical fitting techniques for coaches, personal trainers, bike shop professionals, and experienced cyclists.
What Is a Professional Bike Fit Workshop?
A professional bike fit workshop teaches participants how to evaluate rider position, bicycle setup, movement, and the interaction between the rider and the bike. Participants learn a systematic process for identifying fit issues, making appropriate adjustments, and documenting the resulting bike fit.
What You'll Learn in the Bike Fit Workshop
This hands-on bike fitting workshop teaches a systematic approach to evaluating rider position and bicycle setup. Participants learn how to assess the rider, evaluate the bicycle, identify fit issues, make adjustments, and document the resulting fit.
Who Should Attend a Bike Fit Workshop?
The workshop is designed for professionals and experienced cyclists who want to develop practical bike-fitting skills.
- Cycling Coaches & Personal Trainers – Learn how bike fit and rider movement interact with cycling performance.
- Bike Shop Professionals & Mechanics – Develop practical bike-fitting skills that can complement bicycle service and sales.
- Physical Therapists & Movement Professionals – Apply movement and biomechanics concepts to cycling.
- Cyclists & Endurance Athletes – Develop a deeper understanding of bicycle position, comfort, and movement.
Bike Fitting Workshop Curriculum
The Science of Movement
Understand the biomechanics of cycling — hip rotation, knee tracking, and spine alignment. Learn how small changes in saddle or cleat placement can transform rider comfort and power.
The Three Contact Points
Learn how the three primary contact points—the pedals, saddle, and handlebars—interact as a system. Hands-on lab time helps participants understand how adjustments at one contact point can affect overall rider position and movement.
Dynamic Fitting Process
Go beyond static measurements. Learn to evaluate riders dynamically using visual observation, rider feedback, and movement assessment to identify positional issues and guide fitting adjustments.
Troubleshooting Common Fit Issues
Learn a structured approach to evaluating common cycling discomfort and positional issues, including:
- Knee or hip discomfort
- Saddle numbness
- Back, shoulder, or hand discomfort
- Cleat and alignment problems
Off-the-Bike Movement Assessment
Learn how mobility, flexibility, strength, and movement patterns can be considered when evaluating bike position. The workshop introduces practical movement assessments that can help inform bike-fitting decisions.
Documenting & Tracking Fits
Use proven methods to record, track, and refine fit data — from saddle height to reach and stack. Learn how to implement re-fit schedules and follow-ups that improve client retention.
