Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Looking for Minneapolis, MN area bike fitter recommendation...

Hey guys, My uncle is wanting to purchase his very first road bike and needs a fitter in Minneapolis area. Recommendations anyone? He has been putting miles on his hybrid and ready to move on to a road bike. He said he is tired of roadies whizzing by him. If you cant beat them, join 'em! I thought this would get more traffic here then the regional forums. Thank you.

Yea, I'd say Erik's too. Pretty sure they are all trained for general fittings and that each store has one BG FIT specialist. I know the Erik's by me did great with my fitting!

Chris Balser, especially if he has any particular issues (pain, odd proportions, history of injuries etc.) https://www.bicyclefitguru.com/.

My brother recommends Now Bike & Fitness or Gear West. He says that they are both very knowledgeable.
