In the meantime a something to think about the next time you use a slide rule to change your position.

If cycle position can be presribed using a mathematical formula who does this formula fit?

For example

Take a cyclist and set them up using one of the mathmatical models and then either increase or decrease their flexibility. (A decrease in flexibility can be due to injury or time away from the bike or increase in vloume of another sport ie running)

All of their dimensions remain the same but it is obvious that the position on the bike would have to change.

We offer two types of setup a basic appointment which takes approximately two hours at the clinic in Southampton which includes an assesment of position on your bike and any improvements that can be made using your current componentry and a detailed look at the all important foot to shoe to pedal interface making changes as required.

The more detailed appointment includes a 30 minute appointment with the Osteopath to assess flexibility and to help identify any issues that may affect position on the bike. Then as per the basic appointment covering any changes that can be made on the day. Additionally there will then be a follow up appointment booked to take care of any fine tuning after you have had a chance to ride in your new position.
