    198 The Hidden Barrier to Effective Bike Fitting: Is Your Fitter Doing This?

    In this episode of Cycling Demystified, the Foundation Bike Fit team dives deep into the art, craft, and hidden realities of professional bike fitting. We reveal the number one barrier to a great bike fit: working in isolation. By exploring why so many fitters fail, the limits of relying purely on motion-capture numbers, and the value of a collaborative team approach, the hosts share how prioritizing intuition, communication, and biomechanics over rigid formulas leads to better outcomes.Whether you are a rider searching for the right fitter or an aspiring practitioner looking to build a craft, this episode offers an honest, behind-the-scenes look at what it truly takes to solve complex cycling problems.If you have any further questions for us, join the conversation at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/cyclingdemystified/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Are you 'bike-fit curious'?

    197 Is It Your Saddle... or Is It You? Solving the Classic Culprits of Saddle Pain

    Wei & the two Matts are back to tackle the main culprits behind saddle discomfort: excessive pressure, excessive friction, and rider movement patterns.We break down the mechanics of pelvic interaction, explaining how mobility, strength, and saddle profile (cutouts, T-shape vs. V-shape, and flare) impact comfort. Then we demystify popular saddle tech—from traditional cutouts and 3D printing to specialized models like SMP and Infinity—while reminding riders that saddle pain is often a symptom of underlying biomechanical stability rather than just a bad piece of gear.

    196 Unresolved Saddle Pain After Multiple Bike Fits - What Can You Do?

    Wei and the two Matts—tackle one of the most frustrating issues in cycling: How to solve persistent saddle pain and numbness?They explain why "just borrowing a demo saddle" rarely solves the problem and why throwing money at expensive 3D-printed seats often fails if the rest of your setup isn't right. Moving past quick fixes, they unpack the "hierarchy of stability," how foot support and crank length directly affect saddle pressure, and why off-bike movement patterns and body asymmetries (opening up "Pandora's box") dictate how comfortable you feel on the bike.Whether you're dealing with single-sided rubbing, persistent numbness, or feel like you've tried every saddle on the market without success, this candid chat outlines how to actually solve the root cause.

    194 Is Bike Fitting Becoming an Official Healthcare Profession? (with IBFI’s Lee Prescott)

    For years, the bike fitting world has operated like a patchwork of independent crafts—every studio running its own playbook, with big differences in methods, technology, and rider experience. But as the cycling industry rapidly evolves, the need for standardized quality, shared knowledge, and a unified global community has never been more urgent. In this episode we sit down with Lee Prescott, President of the International Bike Fitting Institute (IBFI). Lee outlines the IBFI's mission to bring bike fitters together from every corner of the globe under a single, accredited certification framework—elevating the trade into a universally recognized profession. Key moments in this episode:Unifying a Global Community: How the IBFI’s 4-level certification syllabus and international conference are connecting fitters across 20+ countries to share research, establish minimum educational standards, and support one another through structured mentorship. Mastering Communication with Gillian Corke: Why technical data and high-tech tools aren't enough. Lee discusses the critical addition of formal communication skills into the IBFI syllabus, drawing on experiential educator Gillian Corke’s renowned workshops. Learn how empathetic listening, reading client psychology, and navigating soft skills turn a technical bike adjustment into a life-changing rider experience. Protecting the Title of "Bike Fitter": The ongoing work behind the scenes to gain government and industry recognition, paving the way for standardized apprenticeships and official health insurance referrals. Building a Sustainable Fit Business: Why moving away from quick "retail sizing" and toward long-term client trust is the ultimate commercial model for modern bike studios.

    192 Time Trial vs. Triathlon, Le Tour vs. Challenge Roth, Low & Slammed or High & Long?

    In this episode of the Cycling Demystified podcast, the Foundation Bike Fit team breaks down the latest tech and position trends from the Tour de France time trials and Challenge Roth. The guys dive into the evolution of cockpits—explaining why fully integrated, 3D-printed custom aerobars have taken over the peloton and how they balance real-world aerodynamics with upper-body stability. They also contrast the strict UCI-regulated setups of the Tour with the "high and long" positions dominating long-distance triathlons. Finally, the team looks at the controversial biomechanics of top riders, analysing why some pros thrive in seemingly unorthodox positions and how everyday amateurs can find the sweet spot between peak optimization and actual on-the-road comfort.Alanis Siffert - controversial biomechanics If you have any further questions for us, join the conversation at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/cyclingdemystified/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Are you 'bike-fit curious'?

    191 The New Dominant Saddle of the 2026 TDF? - The Tour de France Series: Stage 2

    Think the pros only ride what's best for their bodies? Think again. There is a new dominant saddle company completely taking over the 2026 Tour de France peloton—and the reason behind its dominance might surprise you. Welcome back to another special Tour de France series episode of Cycling Demystified, brought to you by the Foundation Bike Fit team. In this episode, we put on our bike fitter glasses to dissect the pro peloton from the butt up. We crunched the numbers on what every single world tour team is riding this year, and the results completely caught us off guard. In this episode, we dive deep into:The Italian Takeover: How a single manufacturer managed to sponsor nearly half the peloton, and why historic heavyweights like Fizik have fallen out of the top spot. Marketing vs. Anatomy: Does what the pros ride actually translate to what you should choose for your weekend road bike? The Geometry Hack: How modern riders are shifting away from traditional long noses to short-nose and even time-trial saddles just to cheat strict UCI frame regulations. Peak Saddle & 3D Printing: Have we reached the absolute limit of saddle innovation, or is the industry just trapped in a cycle of expensive "aerodynamic flaps" and hype?Enjoyed the episode?

    182 The Marketing of Bike Geometry - How To Avoid The Modern Traps

    REPOST Welcome to a new 6 part series where we explore the modern bike fit mistakes we see riders making on a daily basis.Listen in each week to discover what each of the mistakes are, why they are relevant to modern riders and how you can use this knowledge and implement improvements to your cycling straight away.If you're a committed cyclist looking to ride at your best, prevent unnecessary injuries and master your bike position and cycling, this series is for you!Mat and Wei revisit the conversation about how to choose a bike by understanding your 3 key geometry numbers...Rather than guessing your size based upon marketing ideas produced by bike companies who's aim is to sell you a bike with the least resistance possible. But if you were getting a suit made for you, wouldn't want every dimension of it to be just right for you? By understanding your specific body metrics and positional requirements for the riding you want to do, you can eliminate the guesswork and buy with confidence.

    175 PART 1 - What Cycling is Really Doing To Your Feet & How You Can Stop It

    Left unchecked cycling can really ruin your feet. The simple fact is that humans are not designed to ride bikes, we’re born to run and walk so cycling actually proves to be a challenge to our biomechanics. Thankfully there are solutions to preserve good movement and stability when riding in the form of insoles. But what type should you use, custom moulded, proprioceptive, off-the shelf or none at all? Matt and Wei give an overview of why we use insoles in cycling, how this relates to your foot mechanics, and all the questions around the cycling foot. Is pronation a bad thing? Are low arches a bad thing? Are high arches a bad thing? And why everyone would rather buy a new set of wheels that insoles even if insoles gave you more watts ;)Hopefully this brings some more awareness to why bike fitters love to obsess over your feet, shoes, cleats and insoles.

    172 Craft, Therapy or Science? - Discussing Modern Bike Fitter Skills: Jon Underhill, Core Bike Fit

    Bike fitting is often seen as process driven by technology, precise measurements and a scientific doctrine. These CAN be part of a bike fit experience but it's all for nothing if a bike fitter fails to communicate the meaning behind the methods, findings and results to their rider in a way that resonates.This week I chat with fellow bike fitter Jon Underhill from Core Bike Fit, about the little talked-of 'soft' skills that, I feel, are more important than ever in our modern, digital age. We discuss if fitting is a craft, science or therapy and whether there's ever a good time to use magnets to affect rider symmetry in a bike fit. Let's go!

    168 Should (Can) You Periodize Your Bike Fit?

    Over the years, bike fitting has managed to create an expectation and desire from riders that it is a one-and-done process.Many riders, after they have had a bike fit will rigidly stick to that position and are afraid to change their fit no matter what.Even though they recognise that their body, goals, and skills will change over time...So this week the team explore how we can take the concept of periodization in training and apply it to your bike fit.How and what should you change your fit?And when should you not change your bike fit?
