Senior Cyclist
A fact of life is that we all age, some of us age better than others.
I have a customer aged 84 a regular cyclist. He does all his shopping and visiting family by bike and still finds the time to ride hilly 100k audaxes. He came in for his bike fit and servicing. His regular use of the bike keeps him active, mobile, fit and healthy.
I receive a lot of visits from cyclists about to retire or who have retired and are looking to take up a hobby that helps keep them fit.
Cycling is perfect, it’s a low impact activity in comparison to running. And can give a good cardio and strength workout.
The social side and joining a club can help positively fill some of the extra time that you may find you have.
Get The Right Bike For Your Needs – Senior Cyclist
As we age we may find that our flexibility isn’t what it once was. A bike fit prior to investing in a new bike makes sense as purchasing the wrong type of bike for both your needs and required position can be an expensive mistake. Fortunately, you can have a bike fit before buying a bike. This can help reduce the risk of making the wrong choice.
At Fit My Bike we utilise a fully adjustable professional fitting jig. We can use this to explore the position that fits you best to be comfortable for the type of riding that you want to perform. Typically most riders find that an endurance bike with geometry that has a higher front end, stack, and a shorter distance from the saddle to the handlebar, reach, is the best choice for them. There is a wide range of choice out there and endurance geometries can differ by large amounts and its best to find out what you need. We’re able to help you in your next bike purchase by taking you through the key points that matter in your choice and showing you how you can compare one manufacturers bike to another to see which is most suitable.
