Who bike fitting is for
You don’t have to be fast. You just have to ride.
A bike fit is for anyone who wants to feel more comfortable on a bike—from a casual rider to a racer, and from a first bike to a long-time setup that has never quite felt right.
Numbness or tingling
Symptoms in your hands, feet, or saddle region are common—but they are not something you simply have to accept.
A new or changed bike
Dial in your position after buying a bike, changing equipment, or returning after time away.
Limited comfort or endurance
If discomfort—not fitness—is cutting rides short, your position may be part of the problem.
Uneven or awkward pedaling
Foot position, cleat setup, saddle placement, and knee tracking can all influence how your pedal stroke feels.
Questions about your setup
You do not need to diagnose the problem first. Bring the bike and tell Ben what you are noticing.

What to expect
A fit starts with you riding—not with a formula.
Your bike goes on a stationary trainer so Ben can see how you move and hear what you feel. From there, he works from the pedals up, testing changes to help the bike support your body and the way you ride.
✓Your symptoms, goals, riding style, and current setup guide the session.
✓Changes are made with comfort and real-world riding demands in mind.
✓If discomfort may involve more than the bike, Ben can assess it through a physical therapist’s lens.
The medical bike-fit difference
Sometimes the bike is only part of the picture.
A position change can reduce the repeated irritation that happens every time you ride. But pain can also reflect strength, mobility, injury history, training load, or another issue away from the bike.
Because Ben is both a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a certified medical bike fitter, he can look at the relationship between your body and your bike—then help you understand the right next step.
The goal is not to force your body into a textbook position. It is to find a setup that works for your body, your bike, and the riding you want to do.

Frequently asked questions
Bike fitting, without the guesswork.
If your question is not answered here, call or text the clinic. You do not need to know exactly what is wrong before reaching out.
Do I need to be an experienced cyclist?
No. A bike fit is for anyone who rides and wants to be more comfortable. There is no speed, mileage, or racing requirement.
What types of bikes can you fit?
Road, gravel, mountain, triathlon, and other commonly ridden bikes can all be evaluated. The ideal position depends on the bike, how you use it, and what your body needs.
What should I bring?
Bring your bike, cycling shoes and cleats, and the clothing and equipment you normally ride with—including your usual shorts. A helmet and sunglasses can also help Ben assess your real riding posture.
Can a bike fit help numb hands, feet, or saddle discomfort?
Yes, these are common reasons riders seek a fit. Ben can look at pressure distribution, reach, saddle position, cleat setup, and other factors that may be contributing.
What if my pain is not only caused by the bike?
That is where Ben’s physical-therapy background is especially useful. He can help determine whether changing the bike is likely to be enough or whether something off the bike also deserves attention.
Will I need to buy new parts?
Not necessarily. Many useful adjustments can be made with your current equipment. If a different component would meaningfully improve your setup, Ben can explain what to look for and why.
Ready for a more comfortable ride?
Tell Ben what you’re noticing on the bike.
Whether you already know you want a fit or just have a question about how your bike feels, call or text Fit & Function and we’ll help you figure out the right next step.
