Beat your biggest fear
Look where you’re riding

The best way to improve your skills and overcome obstacles, is to look where you’re going and not at your front wheel. Remember, your bike “goes” where you look. Around a corner, look out of the corner, not in the corner. But if you’re not comfortable and set-up properly, this is difficult.

The best way to get comfortable, overcome your fears and gain confidence in the saddle, is to do a bike fit. A bike fit will help you:

  • Position your hands optimally for reaching your brake levers.
  • Grasp your handlebars comfortably to improve your control.
  • Get your weight distribution right – essential for cornering obstacles and looking where you’re going.
  • Perfect your cleat position for increased power output – for accelerating out of tricky situations.

When you see an obstacle, or you hear a crash, the first thing you want to do is look – don’t! One of the most important skills on your bike is to look where you’re going and not at the commotion. Make sure you’re comfortable on your bike and trust your equipment.

Get comfortable, stay safe

A bike fit won’t only boost your confidence and comfort, but it’ll also help you control your bike and stay safe on your bike. What are you waiting for? Send us a message and we will book you in for a bike fitting.
