Over the next few weeks the Bike Fitters will be bringing a series to the Cycle Ashford website all about how to get the best out of your bike.
The Bike Fitters are the UK’s only national network of mobile professional bike fitters, and they’re joining forces with Cycle Ashford to talk about getting you set up perfectly on your bike ready for the new year!
Riding a bike should be fun, comfortable, and pain-free, no matter if you’re a seasoned racer or just starting your commute!
Most people think riding a bike just means hopping on and pedalling. But if you’ve ever felt pain, numbness, or just plain uncomfortable after a ride, it’s a sign your bike isn’t set up quite right for you.
Here’s the big secret: there’s much more to a bike fit than adjusting your saddle height!
The goal of a professional bike fit is simple yet profound:
• Maximum Comfort - Say goodbye to pain, numbness, and constant fidgeting.
• Boosted Efficiency & Power - Stronger, more consistent pedalling for longer.
• Injury Prevention - Reduced risk of aches, strains, and long-term issues.
• Better Bike Handling - Safer, more confident control of steering and braking.
It’s not just about adjusting parts - it’s about matching your bike to your body, flexibility, and cycling goals. It’s the best investment you can make in your comfort, performance, and long-term health on two wheels.
What’s coming up in the series:

Part 3: Your key contact points (Pedals, saddle & handlebars)
Part 4: The final picture - how it all works together
