Cycling is a great form of low impact exercise which is usually easy on the joints. Knee injuries however, can be common in cycling and is more so among those who are clipped in. While being clipped in isn’t necessarily a reason in itself for knee pain, it does increase the chances of poor biomechanical alignment. It is important to immediately assess any knee pain you experience while riding as what starts as a small niggle can quickly grow into something more serious that keeps you off your bike for an extended period of time. In this post we’ll look at some of the most common causes of knee pain.

Back pain while cycling is a frustrating issue experienced by many cyclists. There can be many causes and the symptoms can range from mild discomfort to debilitating pain preventing the cyclist from riding. Back pain related to cycling can also occur either during the ride or take some time to present after the ride. Back pain can refer to pain anywhere from the upper back to the tailbone. In this post we’ll focus on the mid-back downward, while technically “back pain” consists of pain above the mid-back, the causes of upper back pain more commonly relate to the same causes as neck pain and therefore will be covered in our neck and shoulder pain post.

It would be convenient if there was a single perfect cycling position, or even a perfect position for one rider, or even a perfect position for one discipline for one rider, unfortunately this just isn’t the case.

The part of bike fitting that tends to get the most attention is the biomechanic element; tuning a position to help a rider’s body move well and injury free. However, bike fit can actually be much bigger than this and tackle a rider’s whole relationship with the bike. The 5 elements of bike fit To help explore this in more detail we’ve broken it […]

As bike fitters we see many issues simply caused by easy errors in setup. Sometimes just looking at the bike, even without the rider, we can tell exactly what the issues are. Often, these adjustments are made with the best intentions, or to try and solve a problem, but end up causing more harm than good. In this post we’ll look at four of the most common easy to spot red flags we encounter. Each of these cases can signal more than one potential problem but we’ll do our best to identify the main causes and how it can relate to your fit. In this post we’re going to focus on bikes with drop bars (e.g. road, gravel, etc.), but stay tuned as we’ll tackle other bike types in the future. The bike fit red flags we’re going to examine […]
