SG Bike Fitting… utilizing technology to ride

better and live better.

A bicycle fitting is the synchronization between rider and bicycle to achieve the most comfortable, efficient, powerful, and safe riding position possible.

Your equipment must serve you well in order to be comfortable, perform fantastically and prevent injury.  Set up properly, you will have a riding experience that will inspire you to pedal farther and longer; if set up poorly, your ride quality is compromised and discomfort is almost assured.

On a daily basis, we live this tale again and again. At Sports Garage, we understand that a proper fitting is at the core of the best cycling experience, and that’s why it’s a focus of our business. It is this understanding that led us to become a founding member of the Master Bike Fitters Association.  It is why each Sports Garage fitting begins with an individual assessment of your physical history, body make up, riding experience and goals, by a trained, professional bike fitter who has been to a renowned fitting institution for training.  Because there are only three points of contact with a bike (hands, feet, seat), and each point of contact is equally important, all three are addressed during your fitting by someone who woke up this morning considering the beauty of toned legs turning a fluid cadence of 90.

The fit experience is a fantastic opportunity to learn about yourself and your riding.  Because we want to bring a smile to your face on every ride, we offer you the best fit expertise with every session… technology to ride better and live better.

Our Fit Specialists:

Camran Taylor: SICI certified, Specialized Masters Fitter Cam’s been riding and thinking about bicycles since 1983. He is a passionate rider, a thinker,  and our fearless SG Club leader. Cam is incredibly enthusiastic about solving the puzzles of the human body, and can be found talking with our friends at the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine frequently in his quest to find the perfect solutions for each rider. And if you’re ever looking to test your legs after your fitting? Come out on the Sunday ride, give Cam “the look”, and drop the hammer. He will undoubtedly be your very own Huckleberry.

Stacee Johnson: SICI certified, Specialized trained fitter Stacee is likely the kindest bike fitter to ever grace this earth. She is technically proficient, and has developed a host of loyalists who see her for their fitting needs through the season. As our female fitter on staff, Stacee shares her experiences on the bike to aid those of the  fairer gender to ride at their best. Stacee has helped pregnant women modify their bikes to ride during pregnancy, accommodating the changes the active expectant mother’s body will go through.   Stacee is our Queen of the climbs,  and is our team manager for the SG CYCLING race team.

Chris Jacobson: SICI Advanced fitter, SICI fit instructor Chris is the lead instructor for Serotta’s SICI fitting school, a role he’s relishedsince 2000. He first  fit bicycles to people in 1992,  and works with all-comers, from first time cyclists to World Champions. From humble beginnings as a junior road cyclist in 1984, Chris found a short road in competitive cycling, lacking the necessary engine size, and holding a firm belief that his parents simply loved him too much for him to develop the drive to become a truly excellent competitor. Instead, Chris has dedicated his time to ensuring that others love the bicycle and our human connection to it as much as he does.
