ou’re sitting atop your new bike with the excitement of a little kid as you push off and clip in. After a few rides
you notice your low back and knees are sore and you start to regret your new purchase or wonder if this sport is for you. Or maybe you’ve been riding competitively but can’t get to that next level because you just can’t seem to improve upon your power output. In both situations a good bike fit could be the solution to the problem.

the right size into the right fit. Just as a suit will require tailoring because of various body dimensions, a bike should likewise be tailored to an individual athlete. A properly fitted bike means correct joint position and biomechanics that will maximize comfort, aerodynamics, and performance. Both recreational and competitive cyclist will benefit from a professional bike fit by a certified fitter. The certified bike fitters at OA Performance Center are all physical therapists with a deep understanding of the body, biomechanics, and how to best bike to rider.
Assessment A professional bike fitting begins with a detailed movement, mobility and strength assessment. The information taken from this evaluation is a key component in determining how to best fit the bike to the rider. For example, a hip restriction or

impingement may result in a bowing of the leg at the top of the pedal stroke or a compensatory movement through the spine. Such information can cue us that the stance width likely will need to be wider or crank arm shorter to allow for better mechanics and pedal efficiency. Once the physical assessment is complete, the client’s cleats are assessed for baseline measurements, and the rider then takes position and does what they love to do… ride! Unlike some fitting methods, we utilize slow motion video assessment and computer software that allows us to dynamically assess the rider’s posture as they power the bike. To ensure we are evaluating a cyclist’s true position when they ride, a dynamic fitting is critical. By using a dynamic fit, we can truly assess joint angles that might be misrepresented if measurements were taken from static positions. For example, a rider who sits at rest

with her heel dropped down, but actually pedals with more of a toe point strategy will have very different knee angles at the bottom of the pedal stroke. From these measurements careful adjustments are made to the bike, and then reassessments are compared to the initial data. Adjustments are made until all the components are in place and the rider is dialed into their ideal position to maximize comfort, power, and aerodynamics.
An example of bringing awareness to the rider in regards to inefficiencies such as hiking the hip or rotating excessively through the pelvis and strategies to improve upon.
Not only do many cyclists report immediate improvements in comfort, there have also been numerous quantitative improvements seen in power output following a fitting. On occasions I’ve seen riders have a 5-10% improvement in their

critical power, which experienced riders will know can take several weeks and even months of hard training to achieve.
Knee pain One side effect of a poorly fitting bicycle is pain. Whether from frame size, cleat position, reach, saddle, saddle height, or a number of other variables, the pain caused by a poorly fitted bike can have long term effects both on and off the bike. Hand and foot numbness, neck, arm, low back, and ankle pain are just a few ailments from which some cyclists suffer. One of the most common complaints we see is knee pain. Although some athletes begin cycling to help their knees, this area is one of the most common cycling injuries. Knee position

is dictated not only by saddle height, but by saddle fore/aft, cleat position, and the reach. Common fit related issues that involve pain in front of the knee are cranks that are too long, a saddle that is too low or too far forward, and cleats that are too far forward or rotated in a way that doesn’t match the athletes functional biomechanics (picked up in the initial screening process off the bike). Pain on the sides of the knee is typically caused by saddle height, excessive or limited float of the pedal (again this is rider specific), and too wide or narrow of a stance position causing the knees to bow away from, or knock in toward, the bike. Pain behind the knee can be the result of a saddle that is excessively high or too far back thus causing the cyclist to reach excessively at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Even the shape

of the saddle can contribute to this if it blocks adequate pelvic position or places the spine in a position where nerves in the spine become irritated and refer pain down the leg.
The right saddle The saddle is one of the most commonly changed parts of a bike because so rarely does a stock saddle fit the rider. A cyclist who is uncomfortable in his/her saddle can be easily identified; usually these riders will demonstrate straight elbows as they push themselves back with a rounded spine in attempts to unload the perianal region. Numb genitals, burning pain,
Knee angles can varies among riders based on physical limitations, however typically fall in the 25-35 degree range; in road geometry, this angle is closer to 20-30 degrees. When pedaling, the knee should track directly in line with the hip and over the foot throughout the entire stroke.
bruised buttocks, saddle sores, and inflamed skin are common problems. Many riders tell me they have just accepted that this is part of the sport. But these are not normal issues and need to be addressed. A good fitting saddle should be comfortable and allow you to maintain a neutral spine position without the need for frequent position changes to unload sore areas. The past 15 years has seen dramatic changes in the saddle design, with models to fit a variety of anatomies. There are even a variety of nose-less designs that work well for many riders, especially those set up in aggressive time trial positions. Saddle choice is extremely individualized and trial and error is the key to finding the saddle

that best suits you. At OA, we carry several popular saddles that encourage proper spine angles. During a fitting, a rider will be able to try them out to see which model is best. But before you go searching for saddles, make sure you have a pair of good quality bike shorts that fit correctly (tight with no wrinkles). Chamois lubricant is a good next step if saddle discomfort persists, and is strongly recommended to all riders. Next time you ride, ask yourself if you truly are comfortable on your bike. Chronic nagging injuries that seem to creep up every season, limited gains in performance despite focused training, or finding it hard to sit in one place for an extended length of time are all signs that a fitting will likely benefit you.

SELF-ASSESSMENT Checking for Chronic Injury
Focusing on the following three major areas will allow for a proactive and injury free running season: POOR ANKLE MOBILITY preventing your body to get into a full depth squat. If your heel comes off the ground to get this low during the squat, this is you. Focused ankle mobility will help prevent calf issues, shin splints, and plantar fasciitis. Stretch the calves and the tibialis (anterior) muscles of the lower leg to allow for proper “spring”

stretch?” is often replied with a shoulder shrug and “I don’t have time”, “a little” or “I foam roll” becomes the answer. Or I find that patients “doing the stretches and rolling” with no results. If you can relate, this article is for you. Let’s teach you how to assess your

POOR HIP MOBILITY also will prevent the low squat. This is common in desk workers. If you feel a pinch, often times your hip flexors are getting compressed. When these muscles are too tense your hip is not able to freely move. Compensation can result in hip impingement, iliotibial band syndrome and knee pain.

Shawnee Peak Adaptive Ski Program The Shawnee Peak Adaptive Ski Program is a non-profit 501c. It was started in 1990 as an outlet for the local school system and their special needs children. Today, it has grown to serve more than 125 children and adults weekly from Cumberland and Oxford Counties. We have 17 groups coming in during the week, 5 adult groups and 12 school groups. Participants learn to ski, snowshoe and interact with other groups, thus getting the full experience of the winter world. Volunteers are the mainstay of the program, each group has a group leader with their staff and volunteers. The number of Adaptive programs has grown to a present day average of 25 volunteers spread out during the week. The Shawnee Peak Adaptive Program is a pre-registered, multiweek group program for children and adults with disabilities. Their groups consist of local schools and adult agencies. Many of our groups practice for the Special Olympics games, which are held annually at Sugarloaf. The program is in operation every weekday morning for 7 weeks, starting in early January. Many of these groups have been training with us for a number of years. They include but are not limited to: Jordan Small MS, Windham HS, Windham HS Autism, Café, Landmark, Good Neighbors, Progress Center, Sacopee Valley, Momentum, Lake Region HS, Elm Street School, Poland Regional HS, Poland Community School, Molly Ockett MS, Fryeburg Academy and Oxford Hills HS.

About Photographer Kevin Morris Kevin moved to Maine in 2007 from the west coast with a budding marathon habit and established photo business that merged and turned into a passion for capturing on film athletes in competition, especially elite runners. He says “Maine is not exactly the epicenter of happenings in America, but we produce a lot of great athletes who are succeeding on the national and world stages. I find a lot of pleasure in following their pursuit for excellence and cheering them on as I record their effort. I love having a front-row seat to the action.” Kevin and partner, Diana Norwood, are raising two daughters and a small apple orchard a stones-throw from the ocean near Brunswick. You never know when he’ll pop up at a race near you.
