The shop where I do all my bike fits, Revolution Bike Shop in Solana Beach, is located on one of the most well traveled coastal cycling roads in all of Southern California, Highway 101. I also have a home directly on one of the region's most popular road biking routes known as the Elfin Forest Loop. The bottom line is that I get to see a lot of cyclists each year. Thousands. Based on access to viewing these large numbers of roadies and my experience as a bike fitter, I’ve narrowed down the most common bike fitting issues to the following five:
1. Poor Leg Alignment 2. A saddle that is too high or too low 3. Poor cleat position 4. A saddle that is tilted downwards 5. Excessive reach to the handlebars I’ll be examining the first two of these issues in this article.
