World-Class Bike Fitting & Problem Solving
Paul Swift (Founder of BikeFit) and Kit Vogel, PT, DPT, MS are actively booking in person bike fits in the Spokane, WA area as well as virtual fits for all cyclists, triathletes, and mountain bikers of all levels including indoor cyclists (like Peloton, Nordictrack, Cycle Bar or other). Locally Kit and Paul work with a few different bike shops and we are also available to bring the fit to you.
What does an in-person bike fitting include?
- A complete bike fit usually takes 2-2.5 hours and includes a follow-up 1-2 weeks after the initial bike fit.
- The fit includes a full dynamic digital assessment of the side, front and rear views.
- Special attention is given to the contact points, including the foot-pedal interface, pelvis-saddle, and hand-handlebars/stem (including tri-bars on tri bikes).
- The foot-pedal interface specifically addresses lower extremity biomechanics that creates a wide variety of over-use injuries.
- The stem sizer determines the proper length and angle of the stem for the current bike.
- The saddle changer allows the cyclist to try multiple saddles in a very short time to select the best possible saddle for comfort, performance and the best possible biomechanics.
What does a virtual bike fitting include?
- This is initiated with an email review of our services and process.
- When you are ready to begin your fit journey, you will receive a questionnaire that includes sending us photos to review.
- Then the initial fit email will include a list of tools you may need to assist us during this part of the process.
- Getting ready for our first meeting FaceTime is a great option if you have an iPhone. If you do not have an iPhone, we work with MS Teams or Zoom. Having a partner to assist with this process is extremely helpful.
- Book a day and time to meet face to face and review your cycling position.
- After this session put together a package of necessary items like wedges and/or screws. While supplies last we throw in a cool pair of socks and mail them to
you. These items cost between $30 - $50 and are included in your service. - Occasionally additional items may be recommended by BikeFit.com or another company. These will require an additional fee.
- The next session is usually the final virtual face-to-face meeting fine tuning your position.
- As you noticed we are not a one-time 45-minute meeting and done partner. Although it is not necessarily difficult to make some type of improvement with your fit in a short time it is not possible to offer a complete and thorough fit virtually in 45 minutes.
*Having trained over a thousand professional bicycle fitters around the world we occasionally can introduce you to many of the very best cycle fitters in select areas to visit in person or come to you for a fitting. This request is accommodated as best we can, and we are not always able to connect you with a pro fitter, but we try.

"It was great to meet you and learn from your experience. I feel much more confident doing bike fits now that I've learned how to properly adjust the foot/pedal interface."
