Bike Fit Vancouver

Our team of highly qualified registered physiotherapists, who are Bike Fit Systems certified, will help you achieve your optimal bike fit.

We look at commuter, road and mountain bike fittings which include cleat/pedal, saddle, and handlebar adjustments to help with the greatest cycling comfort and performance.

As human body movement specialists, we can help you reduce your risk of injury, treat and manage existing injuries, improve performance and provide a better cycling training program. Bike fits are highly individualized and custom to each cyclist. They can be the key to helping you feel the most comfortable, efficient, and powerful while riding on the road or in the mountains.

Who can benefit?

Regardless of whether an individual engages in recreational cycling and commuting or participates competitively in the sport, all individuals stand to gain by mitigating their risk of injury while simultaneously enhancing comfort and durability.

Frequent complaints and injuries may involve:

  • Pain in the low back and neck
  • Pain in the patellofemoral and hip regions
  • Conditions such as patellar and Achilles tendinopathy
  • Experiences of pins and needles or numbness in areas such as the pelvic and saddle region, as well as the hands and feet.

Bike Fit Assessments are offered at our Cambie & 8th location only.

Bike Fit

Bike Fit Process

  • Conducting a comprehensive review of your past and present injuries, biking history, training regimen, and overarching fit objectives.
  • Performing a physical assessment to evaluate your overall mobility, flexibility, posture, and biomechanics while cycling on a trainer.
  • Making adjustments to the bike including cleats and pedals, saddle, handlebars, and overall cockpit setup while recording body and bike measurements. In certain instances, recommendations for alterations to specific bike components may be suggested.
  • Discussing specific physiotherapy exercises if deemed necessary, and potentially initiating a home exercise program with subsequent follow-up.
  • The duration of the bike fit process typically spans around 90 minutes, contingent upon individual requirements.

Rates

  • Initial Bike Fit (Road, mountain, and commuter bike fit) – $250
  • 60 minute Subsequent Visit – $185

Please look into your own extended health insurance plan requirements as to whether or not you will need a doctor’s note for physiotherapy (usually not required). Because part of the bike fit includes components of a physiotherapy assessment and treatment, generally a portion of it may be covered.
