Yesterday was “Bike Fit & Purchase Day!” I woke up crabby in fear of being stripped down, hooked up to machines, tape measured, weighed, and put into compromising positions. Well…the experience proved more comfortable than expected. The assessment is official...we're perfect. In all seriousness, our body dimensions are similiar. Britt has longer legs & Kirstin has a longer torso. Because there's a centimeter difference at 2 spots on our bikes, we aren't allowed to swap bikes ;) Additionally, our hamstring flexibility is lower than average and our upper back muscles are tight. This means: more stretching - less stress.
COST
Bike Fit - $125.00
2008 Cannondale Road Bike - $1350.00
Sidi Bike Shoes - $180.00 (most expensive pair of shoes we've purchased)
Pair of socks - free (one of the few non-traditional ways this bike shop advertises)
Clipless Pedals - $60.00
9% tax - $127.71
Riding a road bike versus our mountain bikes = PRICELESS
Here’s to the next 131 days. Currently, our bikes are being fitted to our body dimensions.
