WHAT IS CYCLEFIT?\nCyclefit is process developed by Steve that is based on the idea that optimising neural function precedes biomechanics in importance. Biomechanics is the ‘child’ or neural function. All systems of bike fitting, no matter how sophisticated they may appear are based on biometric (measurement based) or biomechanical models.\nCritiquing these approaches one at a time; biometric systems fail because measuring a client’s limb lengths and body proportions is the static quantification of only one aspect of a person engaged in a dynamic activity (cycling) and doesn’t consider the enormous range of functional differences that occur amongst people of similar size and proportions. Functional differences; like degree of flexibility, stability, pedaling technique, functional and neurological asymmetries and so on. I hope there isn’t anyone who still seriously believes that measuring your torso length, arm and leg length and proportions and consulting standard tables for information equals a quality bike fit.\nBiomechanical models are much more complex and often use tooling like video or motion capture that have a WOW! factor. But they miss the target in one crucial aspect. That is that neural function isn’t considered. Optimal biomechanical function largely depends on optimal neural function because every action on a bike starts with a signal from the brain or elsewhere in the central nervous system that is at least in part based on a constant flow of \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception\" \u0014proprioceptive feedback\u0015 from the body.  This process needs to be optimised within the functional constraints exhibited by the rider. Optimal neural function is intimately related to good posture and adequate flexibility.\nA bicycle is a symmetrical apparatus in a positional sense but humans all function with varying degrees of asymmetry. So it is important that a good position allows the rider to be as functionally symmetrical as their current structural make up allows. Any challenge to the rider’s position from any source, whether it be poor position, inflexibility or lack of proprioceptive awareness from the parts of the body involved in generating force, or issues with the spatial awareness component of vision, or of the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_system\" \u0014vestibular system,\u0015 will cause the rider to develop a pattern of compensation. All patterns of compensation increase the tendency to asymmetry. So a quality bike fit is mainly concerned with establishing a functionally symmetrical position by identifying and removing as many challenges to the rider’s position as possible. In addition principles of fitting that I have evolved are applied. The nature of these fitting principles means that the detail of their individual application varies as much as people do.\nSteve thought of the name CycleFit in September ’96. Since then a number of businesses in the U.K. Germany, Belgium and the U.S. have taken to using the same or a similar name. We have no connection, past or present, with any of these businesses. There are a number of people who imply a connection with me or who claim to use “Steve Hogg methods”. Steve has no connection past or present with any of these people.\nThe only people that have trained with us and are authorised to say so are those listed below.\nSECTION 2. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER A CYCLEFIT\nAs an activity, cycling requires the central nervous system to switch muscles on and off in a precise and complex sequence.
