Brand Comparison: Top 5 Aero Road Bikes

Aero road bikes represent the pinnacle of bicycle design and engineering. Not only do they need to be aerodynamic to cut through the wind and save the rider energy, they also need to take unconventional tube shapes and ensure the bike still delivers an acceptable ride quality. What is an “Aero Bike”? Recently there has been a split into three main categories of road bike. “Aero” bikes are bikes designed to be as aerodynamic as possible. “Endurance” bikes are designed to be as comfortable as possible. And lastly “All-Round” bikes, which used to be segmented as “lightweight” or “climbing” bikes. While all-round bikes are starting to get more and more aerodynamic, in general they still aren’t as aerodynamic as pure aero bikes. Many riders, especially non-traditionalists, prefer the futuristic look of an aerobike, with its wider tube shapes and sleeker […]

Best Ways to Adjust Reach on your Bike

Shortening or lengthening the reach on your bike, especially those with drop bars, is one of the most important adjustments that impacts your position.

Bicycle Geometry 101: Fit Geometry

The geometry of a bicycle is a combination of key measurements that describe the general shape and size of a bicycle. Though there are some measures that are more or less useful depending on the type of bicycle, there is generally a consistent set of measurements that can be found in the Bicycle geometry chart of most bicycle manufacturers and are often referred to when discussing both the fit and handling of bicycles. As each measurement has a different impact for the rider, we’ve separated the key measurements into two main categories: Bike Fit Geometry Bike Handling Geometry   Bike Fit Geometry These aspects of a bicycle primarily impact how the bicycle will fit the rider and are the main contributors to determine the right bike size for a rider.   Bike Handling Geometry These aspects of a bicycle primarily […]

Body By Bike - MyVeloFit

Body By Bike

I’m all about sharing the gospel of cycling and exploring the outdoors on two wheels, and I firmly believe that movement is medicine and there’s nothing more exhilarating than the wind through my hair, dust spraying from my wheels and the sensation of flying through space. Riding bikes is fun!  But the dirty little secret that no one talks about is that zipping around on two wheels can make a body hurt, even if you never crash. I’m not talking about the good kind of pain like your lungs searing and legs screaming as you roll over the top of a mountain pass. We like that kind of pain! No, I’m talking about the kind of pain like numb hands, a sore butt, stiff neck, aching back, and knee pain. This is the bad kind of hurt that should never […]

The Solution To Bike Sizing – Fit First Sizing

The Solution To Bike Sizing – Fit First Sizing

In this post we are going to talk about how MyVeloFit is tackling the problems with sizing. Before we dive in let’s have a quick recap of our previous posts on sizing to understand how we got here and how it’s related to our ‘fit first sizing’ approach.   Bike sizing: Part 3  Welcome to our discussion on bike sizing. Here we’ll reveal our ‘Fit First’ approach to bike sizing. The bicycle industry has created a mess of bike sizing (to put it lightly). As we discussed in Part 1 the current approaches to finding the correct size bike are somewhat limited. Manufacturer sizing charts don’t account for individual variations in body segment lengths or an individual’s target riding position. Professional Fit First services are a great approach to sizing but aren’t available to everyone due to cost and availability. […]
