Science and Cycling 2025 Conference Recap

2025 Science & Cycling Conference Recap: Lille, France

This year marked our second time attending the Science & Cycling conference. This time in Lille, France. For those who don’t know, this conference takes place annually in the host city of the Tour De France. It’s a fantastic opportunity to take in some of the leading research in the field and network with the top academics, thought leaders, and hands-on players in the cycling industry. A few presentations really stood out to both me and many other attendees, and I’d like to take a short moment to highlight them. Please note, many of these presentations were either the initial presentation of academic research papers or were quite research based so a brief paragraph or two obviously won’t do them justice. Conference Highlights Our team attended several compelling presentations that stood out for their practical relevance and innovative research. Below […]

Phil Burt Joins Forces with MyVeloFit to Bring Pro-Level Bike Fit Advice to Every Rider, Anywhere

Ottawa, Canada — What do you get when you mix decades of pro bike fitting experience with cutting-edge AI? Turns out, something pretty special. MyVeloFit has partnered with world-renowned physiotherapist and bike fit legend Phil Burt to launch Expert Review, a new service that gives cyclists around the world access to personalized feedback from top fitters—starting with Phil himself.

UCI Handlebar Width Regulation needs to change

Why the UCI’s New Handlebar Width Rule Misses the Mark

The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) recently announced new regulations around handlebar width that we believe are not only poorly conceived, but may also carry unintended and harmful consequences—particularly for women and smaller riders. We strongly disagree with the new regulations and have started a petition to the UCI for them to alter the new rules to make them more inclusive to all riders. Please take a moment to sign the petition and share it amongst your fellow riders. What’s Changing? The UCI’s updated rule mandates: A minimum outside-to-outside handlebar width of 40cm, and A minimum inside-to-inside distance of 32cm at the narrowest point of the brake levers. While the 40cm outside width rule is less problematic—especially if measured with bar tape (a detail not yet clarified)—the 32cm lever width requirement poses serious biomechanical and inclusion-related concerns. Our Data Tells a […]

Common myths of crank lengths. Assortment of crank lengths.

Bike Fit Mythbusting: How Crank Length Affects Your Bike Fit and Some Common Myths.

We recently posted a reel on instagram about how different crank lengths affected the fit of one rider. While the post was popular, many comments revealed some misunderstandings about the fundamentals of crank length and its pros and cons, especially when going shorter. In this post, we’ll break down the science behind crank length, how changing it may improve your position, and address some common myths. We’ll first discuss why you might consider shorter cranks, the impact of crank changes on fit, and then dive into the science of how crank length affects power output. Finally, we’ll tackle some common misconceptions. Crank Length & Bike Fit: When shortening cranks, there are three main goals: Open up the knee angle (knee flexion) Open up the hip angle (hip flexion) Improve movement quality and efficiency The majority of these changes occur at […]

3 New Smart Bike Frame Trainers

Recently, there has been a flood of the most popular bicycle trainer brands releasing their very own “smart bike trainers”, in the past more commonly referred to as stationary bikes. Stationary bikes have been around for quite some time, and some trainer brands (anybody remember CycleOps?) have even released these quite some time ago without the trend catching on. We’ve seen a handful of new releases recently that are catching a lot of attention that we wanted to dive into. There seems to be a new category afoot in the indoor cycling training space with “smart trainer frames” (is that what we are calling them?). Brands are offering smart trainer frames designed to connect to an existing smart trainer and allow all the benefits of a smart trainer bike but at a lower cost and with more versatility. We are […]

Trek's newest Madone Gen 8 with new Race geometry

A Bike Fitter’s Take on Trek’s New “Road Race” Geometry

As a bike fitter I’m often very critical of bike geometry – specifically fit geometry – and especially geometries with labels like “Endurance” or “Race.” While it is true, fit geometry has a major impact on how “racey” the resulting fit will be, so too does the rider’s proportions and final bike setup. I’ve seen very conservative positions on a race bike and very racy positions on an endurance bike. This is mostly due to rider proportions, however bike setup can also influence this significantly. Notwithstanding the above, Trek has recently launched a new updated version of their Madone and with it the American brand has made some major geometry changes. Given that the Madone is one of the most popular bikes on the market today, I thought it was worthwhile to give my take on the new geometry and […]

3 Trends from Sea Otter 2024

From my early days as a young DH grom in the ‘90’s, to my first attendance this year with MyVeloFit, Sea Otter Classic has always signalled the start of the mountain biking season for me. This iconic event, deeply etched in my earliest memories of cycling, has evolved from a much-anticipated product launch platform into the premier cycling industry showcase in North America—especially since the decline of the Interbike trade show. This year, I had the opportunity to walk the grounds of the Sea Otter Classic not just as a spectator, but as a participant, experiencing firsthand the bustling atmosphere of what has been declared the biggest year yet. It was a culmination of years of enthusiasm and anticipation, a chance to immerse myself in the heart of the cycling community I’ve grown up with. Join me as we dive […]
