Thanks to everyone for making it another great year for BikeFit. More and more people are happier on their bike which is our ultimate goal. This does not happen without effort from all of you.

We look for 2012 to be a SUPER year with new products, some added twists and curves to the existing line-up, along with a new alliance.

The year will be starting fast from get go. Our first BikeFit Pro classis January 8-9^th at BikeFit Headquarters.

I will be working at FIST teaching BikeFit Education on the Foot/Pedal Interface January 18 in Valerymo, CA at SlowTwitch. This will be the most important day in-between the Tri and Road Sizing classes. Road Sizing is new for Dan Empfield and SlowTwitch in 2012.

If you are in the Southeast come meet us in South Carolina January 19^th working with one of our new domestic distributors Hawley USA.

Katrina “Kit” Vogel MS DPT will be presenting in London this January 25^th & 26^th at the International Cyclefit Symposium. A preview to London will be available here in Kirkland, WA the week prior and open to a limited number of guests.

Look for our new ads in the Cascade Courier (already in print) featuring the SwitchIt and the local shops using it to sell the most comfortable saddle for you and in Velo (formerly Velonews) for a few issues featuring some of our esteemed BikeFit Pros across the country.

And that is just some of the things going on in January 2012.

Things will be much more yellow around here in 2012 as Superfeet is sponsoring all of our BikeFit Pro Education. Each and every student that brings their cycling shoes will receive a pair of Superfeet insoles. Also, subjects in the classes will be supplied insoles for the students to see and watch firsthand the amazing benefits of the Superfeet product. Stay tuned for more on this very soon. As well, watch for more info on distribution to bike shops, bike fitters and consumers.

Lastly, BIG changes to our education format here at BikeFit Headquarters. At long last, we’ll be offering monthly Foot/Pedal Clinics followed by an optional day of complete bike fittings. Good news for aspiring fitters- rates are going DOWN. Check it out: See our Class Schedule.

That's right.  The schedule is set.  We will be returning to Mike Fraysse's Sports Resort - May 5-6, 2012

Deposits are being accepted now.  Don't wait!  2011 rates will remain with your deposit if we receive it before January 15, 2012.

We were asked the other day what are some of the differences  between BikeFit and another program. There is certainly some good and cool information that can be found in many places however when it comes to the actual connection or interfaces with the bike itself what does a stick figure tell us?

I was asked to give an example. From the stick figure on the left can you tell me which photo it represents on the right?

Technology (and systems that show information like you see above left) can be very helpful. However, nothing can beat the experiences of a properly trained bike fitter. What do your eyes see? How does the cyclist feel? Knowledge trumps all.

BikeFit is offering bike fit demos all day Friday, October 21st at The Bike Shop in Auburn, Alabama. Come see more than a stick figure.
