Hi... "Every journey has a secret destination of which the traveler is unaware." —Martin Buber

So I've got a tri-bike that I've been on pretty much exclusively since last summer. I've put a few thousand miles (not 10 or anything) on it, and I've never really felt all that comfortable on it. Its okay, but not great. I'm racing CdA end of June, and was wondering what you guys think about getting fit. Should I not change things this late in the game?

I've been adjusting my bike fit a little this week. After all my base training this winter, it seems I'm getting more comfortable leaning over a little more, so I wanted to lower my handlebars.

There is one type of bicycle that is extremely hard to fit-- a bicycle that is the wrong size for the athlete. I sometimes have cyclists coming from out of state for a bike fitting so I like to do my homework before they make the trip. This means ensuring they are on the correct frame size and it can be a little tricky.

A competition grade bicycle is not cheap. Once fully outfitted, you will have probably spent thousands of dollars. In order to get the most value out of your investment your bicycle should fit you like a glove. The three main considerations in fitting a cyclist are comfort, power production, and aerodynamics.
