The correct position on the bike If you want to get the most out of your cycling then finding your correct position on the bike is paramount. Cycling comfort and efficiency begin with a bike that fits. Getting your position correct means you are able to produce more power efficiently without working any muscles unnecessarily. Correct positioning of hands, feet and body are essential for success and avoiding injury. If you have back, neck, shoulder or knee pain, saddle sores or finger numbness, then your bike probably doesn’t fit you.

We are all very different, each of us with different sizes of arms, legs, torsos and other parts of the body. All these factors must be evaluated when you seek to find your correct position on the bike. The following are some basic recommendations to provide you with a nearly perfect set-up. With experience you can then slightly adjust this position to meet your own requirements.
