Bike Fitting

Experience Comfort on Every Ride

A bike that fits right is a bike that gets ridden

When your bike is properly adjusted to your body and your riding style, you are more comfortable, efficient and powerful. You are also less likely to sustain injury. 

Proper fitting starts with selecting the right-size bike frame. Most of our bikes are not a one-size-fits-all because people are not designed that way. Our bicycles come in different frame measurements helping you to personally obtain the best overall fit. While measurement standards vary between manufacturers, we can help you determine what works best for you. 

Every new bike purchased at Bickel’s comes with a Free Basic Sizing. This covers the primary areas of adjustment including seat height, handlebar reach and foot alignment.

If the Shoe Fits

For maximum power transfer on the road or trail and for exceptional comfort on a spin bike, we recommend clipless cycling shoes and pedals. With stiffer soles and the ability to click into and out of your pedal system easily, cycling shoes make your ride and your workout more efficient, more effective, and more comfortable. Never get stuck in a toe cage again!
