A Scientific Approach To The Art of Cycling

 

We aren't here to guess. Ride Science's philosophy is to utilize the very best tools available to create the perfect fit. This is about your body and your bike; we use the information gathered to make the adjustments, not guess, theories, and gut feelings. 

 

 

 

 

Ride Science the only Independent Bike Fitting Studio ( not at a bike shop) in Michigan.

Ride Science works with all Traverse City Bike Shops to carry their product to test before you buy any new equipment.

  Are you thinking of getting a bike

Here are some reasons why you should consider

Telling a rider that they bought the wrong size bike. Here at Ride Science we use our fit bike THE BIOBIKE to make sure you buy the right size frame.

You are injured or always uncomfortable. Many people assume that riding a bike is supposed to be uncomfortable all the time… It’s not. Here at Ride Science we guarantee a positive outcome or money back.

Signed up for an IronMan and you want to run faster off the bike. Here at Ride Science we test crank arm length looking for the most optimal plus we use Leomo Technology for aerodynamics.

Tiered of getting dropped by your mates. Here at Ride Science we will put you in the best posture position that your body will allow in which you be more comfortable so you can breath better.

That it’s been more than two years without a position change. Since life is life, our physiology is always changing.

Find What Fits

First, we make your bike. Our BioBike adjusts to meet the exact dimensions of your current frame, creating a custom platform that allows us to accurately measure every aspect of your performance. We measure every pedal stroke and adjust the platform in real-time, reacting to subtle changes in position, pedaling, and even fatigue. We don't tell you what works; you'll see it for yourself. The BioBike allows us to isolate leg strength, evaluate core strength, and assess flexibility not just for a few minutes, but to account for changes as you fatigue or settle in. 

The key is to balance maximum power, aerodynamics, and comfort. Millimeter by millimeter, we'll help you find the right position for your fitness and performance goals. 

Different goals, different bikes, different needs. We have a number of options to suit your unique ambitions.

  • Each analysis is conducted dynamically and as realistically as possible.

  • Each fitting is individual – taking account of the athlete’s history and goals.

  • Bikefitting is a process in which an initial measurement (pre-test) is compared to a control measurement (post-test).

  • By combining pre-test and post-test the success is easily traceable and transparent for the athlete.

  • Optimizing the pressure and force dispersion on the three/four contact points is at the heart of the fitting.

  • Finding the right components and respecting the special physiology of the rider is united in all fit processes.

  • Objective measurement values and the bikefitter’s know-how form the basis. Ride Science is a constantly evolving process instead of a closed system for a successful outcome.
