 What size bike do I need?

This is a common question and it is an important one.  Most bikes are offered in four to eight different sizes.  Additionally, sizes vary by manufacturer, style and model.  Because models vary in size specifications, selecting a specific model is necessary before a size selection can follow.

Selecting the proper sized bike requires an experienced person to guide you through the process.  We take bike fitting seriously and we are here to help our customers find the perfect sized bike.  Allow us to use our 22+ years of experience to help you select the proper sized bike.

How do I get fit to a road bike?

Getting the correct sized bike is just the beginning to a proper fit.  A proper fit is unique to each person and includes a successful balance of your comfort and biomechanimal position with efficiency and power output. We have been custom fitting riders for many years and pride ourselves on getting you comfortable and properly fit on your bicycle.  Over the years, we have invested in an arsenal of high end fitting equipment, training and most recently BikeWorks Fit Studio.  BikeWorks Fit Studio is an offsite location just around the corner from the shop where customers can receive uninterrupted one on one attention to fitting needs in a comfortable and private environment.
