Your bike, cycling shoes (all pairs that you may use), simple athletic shoes, cycling shorts, gloves (if used), a hydration backpack (if used), aero helmet (for time trial and triathlon fit). Typically fittings take 1 to 3 hours. However, complex fitting may take longer, and follow-up adjustments may take only a few minutes.
All types of mechanical services are available, including tune-ups, custom wheel building, suspension fork maintenance, and even reliable carbon frame repair. The ability to service a bike or equipment is not limited to any particular brand, although there is one caveat.

Philosophy
Report
At Fitworks the ultimate goal of the bikefit is to put the cyclist in full control of her or his equipment and physical progress. Through the process, the client gains greater confidence and performance through optimized positioning, awareness, and focus on techniques while reducing injury caused by misplacement.
Biomechanics
Report
The cycling position, even one "bent over the handlebars, " should not be uncomfortable. It is based on the same classic "athletic stance" used in almost all sports. When it is seen in skiing or tennis or baseball, it is achieved by finding a point of balance and weight distribution over your feet to leave your pelvis rolled forward, your spine neutral, and your legs and hips spring-loaded to react.
Pedal Guide
Report
Pedals are one of three contact points with the bike. The other two, saddle and handlebars, are primarily comfort-oriented and help you stay planted in the optimal position - assuming you've found it - hour after hour. Pedalstroke efficiency is arrived at through good bike fitting, and good pedaling technique through an understanding of form and application of natural biomechanical patterns.
Handlebar Guide
Report
Handlebars are one of the most overlooked and underrated components on the bike. They help define your posture, support your hands, and determine the ease of reaching your braking and shifting controls, yet often they only allow for comfort in any given hand position at the expense of another position.
Saddle Guide
Report
Riding comfort and economy is a product of overall posture and the way our bodies contact the bike. The contact point that bears the most weight is the saddle, so it's no surprise that it's also commonly the least comfortable. While there has been a strong trend among fit-systems to develop "objective" measures to inform saddle choice, these measures don't have a track record superior to good ol' trial and error.
