Proper fitting---Bicycle Shops offering comprehensive service to customers upon purchase...



"Whether you ride on-road or off, pedal casually or competitively; bicycling is most comfortable and efficient when your bike is adjusted to fit your body correctly.  As you age and develop as a cyclist your adjustments and needs may change and require fine-tuning.  Pain or discomfort should not occur when you ride your bike.  If your bike is uncomfortable in any way, please come in any time for a free consultation.

We offer a complete line of professional fitting services, and we have a complete dedicated fitting area in our store.  Our staff is trained to take care of all of your fitting needs.  Whether you are cruising the neighborhood or trying to shave a few seconds off of your time trial, we can increase your level of comfort and performance on your bicycle.  We utilize fitting equipment and fitting tools from the best names in the business, like Fitmaster, Computrainer, LeMond Fitness and FitKit.

Every bike we sell is fit properly.  We give a free Comprehensive Lifetime Bicycle Fitting (normally $250-$300) to every customer that purchases a complete road, cyclocross or triathlon bike from us.  We also provide free installation of any fitting related parts (handlebar, saddle, handlebar stem, seatpost) that you may want or need to change to get your fit perfect.  It's our way of making sure that our customers get the most from their cycling experience."   NR Bike Shop on Proper fitting and what they offer with purchase. 

Who needs a bike fit?  
Anyone who plans to spend any length of time riding a bicycle will benefit greatly from a professional bike fit. A proper fit can:
  • Improve overall rider comfort
  • Help prevent cycling-induced repetitive stress injuries
  • Reduce or eliminate back, knee, neck and wrist pain
  • Reduce or eliminate “hot foot”
  • Reduce or eliminate saddle discomfort and genital numbness
  • Reduce or eliminate numbness in the hands and fingers
  • Reduce rider fatigue
A good fit can also improve riding performance, because it allows the rider to use multiple muscle groups in the most effective and efficient manner.  Via Aaron H. -- The Bike Gallery

Bicycle shops across the land and the world for that matter are creating customer engagement through properly  fitting people with bikes--no longer do they go by height and weight alone--comprehensive details go into a fitting; age, arm length, leg length, seat adjustment and the list goes on and on.
Buying a bike is easy--hit up any store that sells them and off you go.
However if you want to ride with comfort then follow the reasons above and get a proper fitting...A bike shop can and will deliver a first class fitting, and trust me it is well worth it...Don't just ride, ride with comfort, the ride will be that much more enjoyable. 

There is more to a bike shop than just bikes, seats and accessories---the most important is getting fitted for a bike that meets and exceeds your physical abilities.
