The Perfect Bike Fit – The Definitive Guide to Indoor Cycling Setup

You pedal, you sweat, you push hard — but you feel pain in your knees, lower back, or wrists after every class? The problem isn't the cycling. It's your bike setup. In a single class, you take up to 5,000 pedal strokes. If your bike is poorly adjusted, every stroke repeats a misalignment that, over time, becomes a chronic injury. Sore knees. Locked spine. Numb wrists. It's never the workout's fault — it's the setup no one ever taught you. This guide turns bike setup into a clear, step-by-step method based on over 20 years of hands-on experience from Professor Mateus in indoor cycling biomechanics.

Setup for special populations: pregnant women, seniors, people with hernias

Using technology for millimeter-precise adjustments

A 5-minute checklist to use before every class

WHO IT'S FOR:

Indoor cycling riders who feel pain during or after classes
