Lee recently had the opportunity to travel to Switzerland to take part in his first meeting as a member of the UCI Equipment and New Technology Commission.

It was a genuinely significant moment—not just personally, but for the discipline of bike fitting as a whole. For the first time, a practitioner whose primary focus is the interface between rider and machine is part of these conversations at the highest level of the sport.

The Commission itself is deliberately small. Being entrusted with one of those positions carries a clear responsibility: to contribute thoughtfully, objectively, and in the best interests of cycling as a whole.

What stood out most during this meeting was the depth and seriousness with which equipment innovation is being considered. Decisions made in this environment shape not only elite competition, but also influence the direction of technology across the wider industry.

Lee's role is to ensure that the rider remains central to those discussions. Performance, safety, and fairness are all ultimately experienced through the human body, and it’s vital that this perspective is properly represented.

He is grateful for the opportunity to contribute, and looks forward to supporting the ongoing work of the Commission in a way that reflects both the responsibility of the role and the importance of the decisions being made.

- Synchronising Technology for Smarter Bike Fitting
- Paraic McGlynn & Daniel Schade
In this workshop, Paraic McGlynn and Daniel Schade from Gebiomized demonstrate how combining and synchronising fitting technologies—such as motion capture, pressure mapping, and force analysis—can transform the diagnostic phase of a bike fit. Learn how to interpret data holistically, assess the effectiveness of positional changes in real-time, and enhance your clinical decision-making. This session is ideal for fitters looking to move beyond isolated tools and towards a more integrated, data-driven approach.
