Fit First Philosophy
A bicycle fitting is an optimization of your cycling position to best match your goals, flexibility, strengths and weaknesses. Our sole objective is to make your bike an extension of you; for power, for comfort, for handling, for success – whatever that means to you.
Peninsula Bike Fit uses a procedure developed by the Fit Institute: Slow Twitch, where there is no prescription for fit based on limb lengths, static measurements, rules of thumb or anything of the sort.
Ultimately, this means finding your ideal position first, then finding the bike that conforms to your fit coordinates.
Dynamic Fit Unit
A bicycle fitting starts with getting to know your goals and history as well as a brief evaluation of your current cycling position and equipment. Next, we perform a few tests of your flexibility and core strength, taking note of any limiters or other factors that might affect your cycling position. Then everyone’s favorite part of the fitting takes place, putting you on the Guru Dynamic Fit Unit (DFU) and watching your ideal bicycle position take shape.
Fitting Bikes to People
The Peninsula Bike Fit philosophy has always been to adjust the bicycle to the person, rather than forcing the person to compromise their comfort to fit the bicycle. To this end, each bicycle fitting is performed with the DFU. This allows us to make adjustments to your cycling position quickly, easily and efficiently; you don’t even have to stop pedaling. It also allows us to experiment with different variables and allows you to see how subtle changes in your cycling position can have a big impact on your comfort and performance. This isn’t the fastest way to do a bike fitting but it is the best and most thorough way to do a bike fitting.
