Cycle Clinics:
If you are new to road or mountain biking, then maybe a starter clinic would be for you. Our clinics are a way to gain confidence, skills and fitness during a group ride. We will talk on bike maintenance, bike fitting, how to change a flat tire, how to ride in a group, and much more.
Our clinics are a great way to meet new people with the same interests, have fun, and get in shape.
Biomechanical Fitting: Featuring RETÜL TECHNOLOGY
WHAT IS RETÜL TECHNOLOGY?
Retül technology is a cycling-specific motion-capture bike fitting system designed to provide qualified bike fitters highly accurate and comprehensive bike fit data. The system incorporates three-dimensional measurement, immediate report capability, and a millimeter-specific digitizing tool to provide the most accurate dynamic fitting solution in the industry.
The goal of Retül technology is to assist bike fitters in making objective and accurate fit decisions, as a proper bike fit is one of the single most important factors for optimal performance and efficiency, injury prevention, and comfort on the bike. A proper bike fit will not only provide a rider with the most economic means of expending energy, but will also prevent pain that is common in the knee, hip, and lower back, particularly with riders who are trying to adapt their bodies to the bike they already have purchased.
The Retül system reads the rider's movements while they are in motion on the bike, and accounts for all three planes of movement (3D). This type of data cannot accurately be captured with 2D video, static fitting, or eyeball fitting. The Retül system eliminates the guesswork and assumptive nature of bike fit. The result is that the rider will have a true fit to his or her bike, maximizing efficiency and performance while avoiding discomfort or injury.
Elite athletes and recreational cyclists alike will benefit from a proper bike fit. Accurate and objective fit data assists retail bike shops, fit studios, PT's, coaches, and performance centers in providing high-quality fit services. Retül promotes and encourages accurate and data-driven decisions for bike fit while considering the goals, individual biomechanics, strengths, and limitations of each rider. The bike fitter is the key - Retül technology alone is not enough to perform the fit. The training and experience of the fitter is essential to a good bike fitting experience. We simply provide the fitter with the most accurate fitting tool available so that he or she can increase the chances of achieving the desired position for each athlete.

Why get fit with Retul 3D motion capture technology?
The best way to analyze a rider's efficiency is to observe and measure the rider while he or she is pedaling the bike. Retul 3D motion capture technology simultaneously measures three planes of movement on the rider as he or she is in motion. Retul averages the rider's pedal strokes to provide a comprehensive data set reflecting the rider's movements. Only at this point can a bike fit expert properly evaluate changes to a rider's position. Attempts to analyze the rider in a static position, or only in two dimensions, will not provide data at the same level of accuracy as 3D motion capture.
Who can benefit from a bike fit?
Generally, if you are serious enough to clip into a bike, you will benefit from a bike fit. Whether you are a professional or recreational rider, getting the proper bike fit is an effective yet economical way to improve performance.
How long does a Retul fit take?
An average fit with Retul lasts 90 minutes. However, if you have major adjustments or component changes, the fit may be longer.
How is fit data shared with the rider?
The Retul software archives data for every rider and his or her bike/bikes. The client receives a report of the final fit data, which inlcudes body measurments and angles, as well as bike set-up and measurements.
