Although it has been a relatively mild winter so far here in Toronto, most of us have moved inside and will be spending the next 10 weeks or so on our trainers or rollers.
Ask yourself ... How am I feeling on my bike right now, Did I have anything that was bothering me during the race year. If the answer is yes, then maybe a bike fit is needed to address what ever issues you had.
So when should you get the bike fit done. The answer is NOW, not the Spring.
WHY?
Riding the trainer is a very static position and any flaws in your positioning or pedal stroke will be amplified versus being on the road.
Since your position is very static, muscle memory becomes very SPECIFIC to that static position on the bike.
This is fine as long as you are confident that your current bike position and pedal stroke are correct.
However, if you have doubts about your positioning and you wait till the Spring to address it, then you will be creating BAD muscle memory for the next 10 weeks.
Take advantage of the next 10 weeks inside and build muscle memory in the correct place by getting your bike fit now.
This becomes especially important if you have any key events or races early in the season.
If you have your bike fit done in the Spring, you will not get the full benefit of it until mid season and your entire 10 weeks of hard indoor training will have been mostly wasted.
Great Training!!
