John Hunt of Whole Athlete

Each cyclist is unique, even though we all share similar aspects in cycling. A good fit is specific to the person, one that adjusts the bike and shoes to the cyclist, taking into
account the cyclist’s body history, goals, and feedback. After all, a proper fitting adjusts the bike to the rider, not the rider to the bike. Fitting systems that use fixed parameters such as formulas, video or lasers to determine one’s fit lack the ability to take your uniqueness into account. A computer or formula doesn’t know that your knee hurts orwhy, or that your hands go numb after 20 minutes, or that you broke your arm when youwere a kid. Technology and formulas and are simply tools, and the effectiveness of a tool is only as useful as its application and the experience of the user. How the fitter uses his
tools and experience is what matters most. A good bike fitter has a range of fitting options to employ and can explain clearly and in detail the whys behind fitting elements
and philosophy.
