25.01.2022 We have been working with Bastion Cycles 2016. What they have achieved in a relatively short period is amazing. Check them out if you havent already... but be careful you might want to buy one of their bicycles....

25.01.2022 SUNDAY. #baaw #riderfitcc #bastioncycles #curvecycling

25.01.2022 FLASHBACK FRIDAY. 2014 aero testing with Quickstep team in WinTunnel Morgan Hill in California. Testing handlebar position for best aerodynamic set up. Result was 10mm up on the front and the numbers are the same as them being lower.... but its more comfortable. Here is Mark Renshaw reviewing position with team director Rolf Aldag. Lots of learning happened in these sessions. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #wintunnel #specialized #bikefit #aeroiseverything #flashbackfriday

24.01.2022 SATURDAY. Got out for some bicycle practice. Now back to Dad duties. UPDATE: We are very close to reopening and can’t wait to get back to bike fitting. We are already heavily booked throughout October - December so if you need a bike fit book in now on our website. It’s in the bio #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #baaw #saturday

23.01.2022 RIDE PAIN FREE. Injury prevention is what we deliver in our Tailored Fit Sessions. We believe every cyclist should ride in comfort. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #injuryprevention #ride #cyclinglife #wearamask

22.01.2022 GAME ON! With today’s Victorian government announcement we are happy to resume somewhat normal business again. We are open as of Thursday 18th February. ... Well done everyone and keep wearing masks and washing your hands. #riderfitcc #covid_19 #victoria #melbourne #geelong #surfcoast #bikefit #smallbusiness #injuryprevention #cyclinglife

21.01.2022 ENGINEERING DIRECTOR. We had a great session today working with James installing a new saddle on his Bastion Road Disc SL. A timely reminder that if you change your saddle youve just changed your fit. We rechecked cleat position on new shoes and readjusted saddle position to allow for all the new equipment. For those in the know JW is not the one that needs any more performance benefits..... JW is a bit of a hitter! #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #bastioncycles #upgrades #timecrunchedcyclist #baaw

21.01.2022 HEAD UP & JUST KEEP PEDALLING. Soon we will get back to doing what we love. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #melbourne #geelong #torquay #surfcoast #smallbusiness #covid19 #2020 #outdoors

21.01.2022 2020’s FACE PALM. So given the ongoing Stage 4 restrictions in Melbourne we are still 1-2 weeks off being allowed to operate in Fairfield. For those with exisiting bookings we will be in contact to discuss options going forward. Yes this has been very frustrating for our small business and we want to thank you for your patience. We will get back to normal eventually. On a side note I nearly fell asleep taking this selfie as I’m currently sleep deprived from the high light of the year the birth our son.. he likes the nightlife.. #riderfitcc #smallbusiness #thankyou #life #patience #bikefit #supportlocal #sleepisoverrated #cyclinglife

20.01.2022 PRE PANDEMIC FLASHBACK. Dont forget to look out for your mates this weekend and stay safe. #riderfitcc #pandemic #cyclinglife #friends #mates #outdoors #ride #mentalhealth #support #ridingistheanswer #bikes #friday

19.01.2022 SPRING! How else cant wait to pack up the indoor trainer and get outdoors and hear the birds sing and smell the flowers? See you later winter! #riderfitcc #cycling #outdoors #spring #springtime #betterdaysarecoming #september

18.01.2022 RIDING IS THE ANSWER. #riderfitcc #cyclinglife #sunday #rideyourbike #ride #outdoors #sundayfunday #sunday #bikes

18.01.2022 TOO HIGH HAS ITS PROBLEMS. A very common mistake is having handlebars that are too high. Symptoms are sore neck, numb hands, aching shoulders, lack of control, a feeling of unease while descending and lack of enjoyment. Understanding why your bike is set up how it is the first step to a better riding experience. By the way the hood placement, brake lever reach and the bar rotation are also incorrect in this case. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #injuryprevention #bikefit #melbourne #bikefitting #cyclinglife

18.01.2022 COVID-19 UPDATE. We have made the difficult decision to temporarily shut down our Melbourne studio for the next 6 weeks as stage 4 restrictions are in place. We will launch our Online Video Fit Sessions for those that need some immediate help getting comfortable on the bike. ... For those in regional Victoria (Geelong and Surfcoast) we will be offering more sessions in Torquay also bookable on our website. As frustrating as this has been we are grateful for all your support and cant wait to get back in the studio with you soon. In really good news we are due to have our second child at the end of September.... they say life was never meant to be straight forward as a small business owner, husband and father. Lifes about to get even more entertaining. Stay safe, look out for one another and keep on pedalling. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #injuryprevention #covid19 #smallbusiness #geelong #surfcoast #melbourne #bikematterstorquay #412 #fairfield #pivot #online

18.01.2022 One for the Mountain bikers out there. Thanks for the great recommendation Matthew.

17.01.2022 PAUSE FOR FAMILY. I’m still taking bookings on the website for both Melbourne and Torquay but for now I’m taking a couple of weeks off as we prepare for another addition to the family. 2020 has been the game of waiting. Thanks for your patience and see you in a couple of weeks. #riderfitcc #family

16.01.2022 Support these 2 legends if you are interested in learning the real ins and outs of exploring the world by bicycle. This book is loaded with all the answers to those questions you've been asking... If you're keen to get off the couch (post COVID-19 restrictions of course... :-( ) then grab a copy and start reading and planning your big adventure.

15.01.2022 START HERE. If you cant sit comfortably on your saddle then its probably the start of many issues. Symptoms of an Ill-fitting saddle vary greatly, saddle sores, numbness, lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, sore knees, ITB discomfort and not to mention lack of efficiency while pedalling. Consider shape, contour, width, cutout, padding, saddle height and fore/aft all elements that need to be considered. All of which is discussed and addressed during our Tailored Fit Session. Bookings available for end of September/ October and start enjoying injury free cycling. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #melbourne #australia #ride #rider #injuryprevention #race #cyclinglife #cyclingphotos #injury #sports #sportsinjury #anatomy #monday #bike #biomechanics #backpain

15.01.2022 CURIOUS CAMBIUM. Out of interest and a want to better understand different solutions to bike fitting we going to give this lovely @brooksengland Cambium C17 a bit of riding time to better understand the product. Set up seems critical with this saddle type. Wed love to hear about your experience with these saddles good or bad. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #brookssaddle #alwayslearning #gravel #bikepacking #touring #cyclinglife #injuryprevention

14.01.2022 NEUTRAL POSITION. When your muscles and joints work in the middle of the usable range to allow a balanced, efficient, powerful and comfortable riding position minus injuries. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #injuryprevention #ride #cyclinglife #melbourne #geelong #surfcoast #bikefitting

13.01.2022 YOUR BODY HAS THE ANSWERS. We have worked with riders from all levels and abilities including the best in the world to those embarking on the start of their cycling journey and the one constant in our experience is that all the answers to your best riding experience are actually based on your unique body. We are all different and so to really create a position that is comfortable, powerful and injury free you need to first understand your bodies strengths and limitations. We truly believe that every rider should ride in comfort, its why we do what we do. So if youve have never had a thorough physical assessment before a bike fit and continue to struggle with on going pain then perhaps you need to consider the best process for getting things right for you. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #cyclingpersonalised

13.01.2022 OUT OF OFFICE. Holiday rituals continue. In the meantime we will be back next Wednesday for 2021. #riderfitcc #downtime #festiveseason #pedalpedal #coffee #cyclinglife #geelong

13.01.2022 INJURY PREVENTION AND POWER. In order to deliver power to the pedals we apply a direct force using our foot. In walking and running the flexibility of the foot is part of the movement but when we pedal that movement such as the arch collapsing can become problematic. We assess our riders for a unweighted and weighted foot to understand some of what might be driving the knee to move excessively in a medial lateral direction. This excessive movement can create over use injur...ies like ITB frictional syndrome (pain on the outside of your knee over the boney bit). Capturing your arch appropriately for you not only helps improve biomechanics and reducing the chance of injury but it also feel more comfortable and makes cycling more enjoyable. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #melbourne #power #comfort #injuryprevention #geelong #torquay #surfcoast

12.01.2022 PROVIDING INJURY PREVENTION. We will continue to provide our cycling community with a professional service based on injury prevention for all cyclists. We are following all government guidelines for safe practice in our studio and will continue to help you stay comfortable while riding for fitness and well being. Thanks for your support during these challenging times. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #cyclinginjuries #injuryprevention #injury #wearamask #covid19 #smallbusiness #support @ Riderfitcc

11.01.2022 UNDERSTAND WHY. Time and time again we see these little wedges and stacks being applied in ways that cause more harm than good. It not save to assume that any leg length discrepancy should have these placed under your cleats. Leg length discrepancies are not that uncommon. Sometimes they can be misdiagnosed as pelvic rotations (muscular tension that rotates your pelvis). Sometimes they are tibial and sometimes they are femoral or even a bit of both with a rotation. The po...int is you dont always have to adjust for these asymmetries. So if you do end up with these little stacks or shims under your cleats ask your fitter what they are being used for and hopefully it makes sense to you. Why, because we believe in educating our riders to understand why we make changes for improvement on the bike. Dont risk injury with bad decisions. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #cyclinglife #injuryprevention See more

Thanks for you patience during this time once again as we rescheduled and shuffled appointments around. ... #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #melbourne #geelong #surfcoast #victoria #cyclinglife #smallbusiness

10.01.2022 MISSING THIS SPACE & 412 CREW. When Lockdown 2.0 ends..... we have fittings booked through late September, October and November already. Looking forward to some semblance of normal, whatever that looks like for the remainder of 2020. In the mean time its chin up and keep on pedalling. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #melbourne #fairfield #victoria #smallbusiness #injuryprevention #cyclinglife

09.01.2022 FOR THE LOVE OF CYCLING. Smiling under that buff, a lot! Ps. Stem slammed and saddle centred by fit and design.. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #bastioncycles @ Geelong, Victoria

09.01.2022 WHEN THE PRESSURES ON. A great solution for many riders that experience soft tissue pressure that makes riding your bike unbearable. The Power Mimic is primarily focussed on helping women with saddle discomfort have a more comfortable experience it is also proving to be a great solution for men too. The saddle that works for you is the right saddle. ... #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #melbourne #injuryprevention #womenscycling #cyclinglife #powermimic #specialized #comfort

08.01.2022 ITS A BOY! On the 23rd September we welcomed beautiful baby boy to our family. We will be celebrating and adjusting to life with the latest edition to our family. We expect to be back on deck during the second week of October. Bookings still available via our website and once again thank you for all your support and patience in 2020.. what year! #riderfitcc #family #thankyou #cyclinglife

08.01.2022 A NORMAL FUTURE. Lockdown 2.0 has been a bitter pill to swallow but we are doing our bit to get back to some semblance of normal whatever that means. We are already inundated with bookings in to late September and in to October/November and for that we are very grateful. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #smallbusiness #ride #covid19 #thankyou #grateful #keeponpedalling

08.01.2022 REALISTIC INTENSITY. We learn a lot about how you sit on the bike with a realistic pedalling intensity. As you adapt to different intensity you move back and forth on the saddle and your ankling pattern changes. When you attack, sit up or ride at an easy tempo your body needs to be dynamic on the bike and your final bike set up needs to reflect this. A neutral position allows you to do all types of riding at all intensities injury free. Its the real point of any Tailored Fit Session. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #melbourne #geelong #torquay #cyclinglife #injuryprevention

07.01.2022 REFOCUS ON 21. After much needed down time with family (including a new born.. yes it’s been that crazy) and bicycles we are excited to get stuck in to what is setting up as a massive year for our business. We have bookings right through January to April with a sprinkling of spots left and a waiting list to boot. Let’s do this thing called 2021! #riderfitcc #2021 #smallbusiness #bikefit #melbourne #geelong #torquay #injuryprevention #cyclinglife #cycling #pedalpedal

07.01.2022 GEELONG & SURFCOAST For those looking for another option once we get back to normal ( out of current lockdown) we have booking options available for those in Geelong and the Surfcoast. You can book directly on our website. In bio above. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #geelong #melbourne #bikefitting #injuryprevention #cyclinglife

07.01.2022 NEW SHOES DAY. Did you just buy some sweet new kicks and don’t know where the cleats are supposed to go? We can help with a Shoe and Cleat Fitting. Don’t risk injury with the wrong placement of your cleats. ...

06.01.2022 SHED FIND SATURDAY. Outdoors in glorious sunshine for the win. #riderfitcc #outdoors #saturday #gravelbike #curvecycling #steelisreal

05.01.2022 SADDLE SUPPORTS YOUR POWER. The single most important piece of equipment on your bike is the very spot that supports your power source. Dont underestimate how much impact the correct saddle has on your overall cycling experience. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #geelong #melbourne #injuryprevention #cyclingpersonalised

04.01.2022 INJURY HISTORY. If you’ve had an injury in the past even non cycling related it might just be what’s making your cycling experience less than ideal. Old injuries can create imbalances in your body. If we know your injury history we can help make cycling more comfortable by adjusting your equipment and bike based on your body. ... It stops the guessing game. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #injuryprevention #cyclinglife

04.01.2022 FRIDAY, IT IS FRIDAY RIGHT? Goal, normalise. #riderfitcc #cyclinglife #friday #baaw

04.01.2022 TOOLS FOR SHOW. A tool is only as good as its operator. Over the years of bike fitting weve seen many riders present with positions that have lead to them arriving at our front door looking for another opinion. Here is a nice example of a simple tool that confirms what we could see in a physical assessment before even using the device. Rider injury history, symptoms of pain and observing the rider pedalling all spoke to the left knee pain, the irregular patella tracking... the rider was experiencing. Previous attempts to remedy the problems lead to incorrect adjustments and equipment choice, hence the need for another opinion. Bike fitting experience only comes from fitting experience and no tool has yet to fit a single rider to his or her bike. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #experience #knowledge #history #cyclinglife #cyclinginjury #injuryprevention #ride #bikes #smallbusiness @ Riderfitcc

04.01.2022 CHOICES.. Even for the pros.. Do you have a favourite pair of shoes? ... #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #cyclinginjury #bikefitting #cyclinglife #cyclingpain #injuryprevention #geelong #melbourne #australia

Stay safe and look out for each other. #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #melbourne #geelong #torquay #surfcoast #smallbusiness #covidsucks #booknow #cyclinglife #injuryprevention #ride #bike

03.01.2022 COMFORT, EFFICIENCY & POWER. These are the 3 key ingredients to a successful fit session. If you’re looking to improve your overall cycling experience it’s got to start with comfort. ... #riderfitcc #cycling #performance #bikefit #cyclinginjury #bikefitting #cyclinglife #cyclingpain #injuryprevention #geelong #melbourne #australia

03.01.2022 LOOKING AHEAD. Its what we can do. #riderfitcc #mondaymotivation #cycling #performance #bikefit #injuryprevention #cyclinglife #staysafe

01.01.2022 ON HOLD. LIFE, GRATEFUL AND BUSY. We are here on hold. Since March this year our business has been on and off due to various government restrictions. The silver lining is we had the busiest period since starting our business between stage 3 and stage 4 for which we are very grateful. We also have bookings right through October, November and December already in the system which is absolutely amazing. Thank you. But in the immediate future we have a second child due any d...ay which means business will be on hold for just a little bit longer while family time takes precedence. Thank you for your patience and support during these challenging but amazing times. It has been tough at times but we are coming through the other side because of your support. Keep on pedalling and well see you for ride very shortly. #riderfitcc #cycling #life #smallbusiness #support #thankyou #bikefit #melbourne #geelong #surfcoast #victoria
