When your bike feels good it is so much easier and fun to train! Bike pain issues typically fall into 2 areas. Either your bike needs to fit you better, or you have a muscular imbalance that is throwing your riding off. Tonight – we have both sides covered!
Proper fit on a bicycle is just as important to new riders as it is to experienced cyclists. A good fit improves comfort and speed. Come learn from our bike fit expert, Cynthia Stewart, how to improve the way your bicycle fits you. We will explore common fit issues that can cause pain in the saddle, the feet, the hands, and the shoulders. A good fit can alleviate these issues, as well as increase your overall performance. If you want to ride if you want to ride in the MS150 2016 or even just for fun, feeling good on your bike is important!
The Houston Egoscue Clinic has many bicycle enthusiasts as clients come to the clinic because they find that they are out of balance on or off the bike. Consider a high-performance car, like a Ferrari, driving on a bent frame. When the alignment is off the car, simply can't perform correctly. A rider and bicycle functioning together are somewhat similar to that Ferrari. The vast majority of folks go from being sedentary throughout the day to biking. Any misalignment of the cyclist’s physical frame will be magnified on the bicycle. The result is poor performance, soreness, and injury. The solution is to bring, and keep, your body in natural balance with consistent, simple exercises. Tonight, we will learn a few moves from pain relief specialist, Kristina McDaniel, that will make you feel good in the saddle again.
