Happy Friday!!
The Social Media Dept. is also part of the Bike Fit Dept., and once in a while the BFD, if you will, comes across a very useful article about bike fit. This one is particularly good, because pretty much everyone has had this issue to a certain degree.
"Pain on a bike is 95% fit-related." This is a 100% made-up statistic by one of the members of the BFD, but he stands by it. Something doesn't feel right, and it's not your quads screaming after chasing down Pablo and Bachi on that long hill on Thursday night? Something isn't fitting well.
This particular article deals with foot numbness, and it's very informative. As the recent purchaser of some sweet brand new shoes, even the BFD isn't immune to this problem and made some adjustments.
Did you know that MSBC offers a full fit service? We do! The BFD will help you fit better on your existing bike or give you some pointers and measurements for buying a new one. Foot numbness? Back or shoulder pain? Knees? We can help! Call the shop or visit our website and schedule an appointment.
Meanwhile, read this article and, oh, tell us where YOU are riding this weekend!
Foot numbness while cycling is a pressure distribution problem. Learn what causes numb toes on the bike and the shoe, cleat, and insole fixes that work.
