As the poll starter, I was curious about outcomes. For 40 years I never had a bike fit. Never needed or wanted one. Got a new bike last year and set it up like my old bike but developed issues with my shoulders and urinary issues which PT helped but didn’t solve as well as the cursed, backing off cycling.

Got a fit yesterday by a licensed, masters degree dd PT who did several tests, videos and asked countless questions. She was extremely thorough, not to mention being a former national mountain biking champion. She readjusted one cleat, evaluated body position and got me a new shorter stem and adjusted height and videoed again. The change in body position was remarkable and I could actually feel the difference. Will try the new stem for a month and see her again if needed for any tweaks. Was it worthwhile? I don;t actually know at this point but I doubt it could hurt and if I benefit, I can increase my distance.
