Bike Fitting

• Stand against a wall with feet about 15–20 cm apart.
   
• Place a book or flat object between your legs, pressed firmly up into your crotch (to simulate saddle pressure).
   
• Measure from the floor to the top of the book.

• Stand upright, barefoot.
   
• Measure from the dip between your collarbones (sternal notch) straight down to the floor.

 With your arm extended forward as if reaching for the handlebars, measure from the shoulder joint to the tip of your middle finger. 

• Sit upright with your thigh parallel to the floor and knee at 90°.
   
• Measure from the outer hip (greater trochanter) to the centre of your knee cap.

• Continue from the same seated position.
   
• Measure from the centre of the knee cap to the lateral ankle bone (outside of the ankle).

Rate your flexibility on a scale:

• 1: Very stiff (can’t touch toes)
   
• 3: Neutral (can touch toes with some effort)
   
• 5: Very flexible (palms on the floor with straight legs)

• Stand barefoot with your back against a wall.
   
• Measure from the floor to the top of your head.
