Amy, I've been watching your vids for a while and seeing the title of this video made me SO happy. I still can't believe you did PBP without a bike fit, and I wince every time I remember you crying while trying to finish. Hope you have many more miles in much more comfort now that you've got a relationship with your fitter.

Well done Amy. I had my first bike fit recently at the age of 71 and could not believe the difference it’s made by moving my cleats, changing both the type of saddle and my saddle height. I no longer get numbness in my left hand or a nagging knee pain that I couldn’t get rid of. It’s like riding a different bike. Well worth it and I would recommend everyone having one.

A question Dan .. the bike sensor cover you used .. is it expensive? Can you purchase one and hook it up to computer at home ? From Australia 🇦🇺 Kyle .. Amy is right !! Slow down the car ..you can’t control pot holes 🕳️ in the road .. but you can control your speed over them .. 🫶♥️🍎

what a total waste of money and time bike fitters all use different methods go to another bike fitter and he will change all the changes that were just made someone with lots of money should go to 3 or 4 different bike fitters and video record the fittings and see all the bullshit, her position will change every time no doubt

See that made quite a difference to Amy. I know this can turn out a bit expensive, but what about bar widths, seat for and aft position, crank lengths, cleat position side to side hip width. I imagine the correct way to purchase a bike is to start with the correct size frame. Then build the bike with component suited to your personal body shape?

Great video and I look forward to how you get on in future rides. Please be sure to mention if the bike fit has made a difference to your comfort etc. One thing I did want to ask was......your flexibility is impressive especially the hands on the floor which you mentioned took you a year to achieve. Any chance you could do a quick video on what you did daily to achieve this?

Does the pressure mapper not move on the saddle as you're getting yourself into position? Having to get one leg over from the side, it looks as though the precision of this instrument could be easily compromised. And that would result in the uneven pressure readings you were getting. I'm not saying this is what is definitely happening, but I'd have thought (in my completely uneducated opinion of course) it would need to be more secure.

Had one of these done about ten years ago cost a small fortune. I couldn’t ride in the position they put me in. It felt like my knees were in my chest as soon as I got outside I put my seat back up to the height it was before, total waste of money. My friend who I cycle with is a clinical lead pharmacist for the NHS and of his colleagues is a orthopaedic surgeon and he told me he gets paid less than these so called bike fitters. £200+ for a bike fit ? You must have more money than sense.

@stephensmith28208 ай бұрын
I don't like the look of this. There has been no mention of saddle tilt. The pressure reading from your old saddle was purely down to lack of saddle tilt. Women require a forward tilt of 2-3 degrees. Also, forward rotation of the handlebar is going to increase reach. Do you want this? Do you really want an aggressive riding position for endurance riding? All you had to do was drop your elbows to relax the shoulders. Finally, you will find the Flite saddle hard on long rides.
