Adjusting the bike of a cyclist from Aix-les-Bains during a bike fit in Viviers-du-Lac

Bike fit in Aix-les-Bains, by an osteopath

Aix-les-Bains is five minutes from the practice, on the other side of Drumettaz-Clarafond. For cyclists and triathletes from the lakeside, it is an easy address to reach for a bike fit done by an osteopath rather than in a shop. I measure with the Morphologics system, I analyse your pedalling on an indoor trainer with video feedback, then I adjust the bike, and if a stiffness is holding you back I treat it in the same session.

Around you

Riding from Aix-les-Bains

Around Aix, everything starts from the lake. The loop of the Bourget via Chanaz and the west shore stays flat and fast, but the wind, frequent on the lake in the afternoon, means an hour riding low into the air. On the other side, the Revard via Trévignin, the Chambotte and the Sapenay are steady climbs of an hour. This mix calls for a handlebar setup that lets you stay low on the flat without locking the hips on the steep sections.

Riders from Aix come with two profiles. Triathletes, numerous on the lakeshore, are looking for an aerobar position they can keep over a half without the back giving way before the run. Road cyclists come more often for numb hands or a knee that pulls inwards after a series of cols. In between, leisure e-bikes whose saddle has never been adjusted.

At five minutes, the journey does not count: choose the time according to your body. A bike fit in the late afternoon, after your working day, shows muscles in their usual state of fatigue. Coming by bike along the greenway, cleated shoes on your feet, lets me observe your position before you get off the saddle. Parking in front of the practice is free if you prefer the car, and you leave in time for an evening ride in summer.

Why here

A bike fit that starts with your body

Bike shops in Aix-les-Bains offer bike fits based on standard measurements and software. At the practice, the bike fit is carried out by an osteopath (D.O.): I first examine your mobility, your asymmetries and your pain, then I set up the bike accordingly. If a stiffness stops you from holding the right position, I treat it during the session.

I do not sell any equipment. My saddle, stem or handlebar recommendations serve your position only.

For cyclists and triathletes from Aix-les-Bains, Grésy-sur-Aix, Tresserve, Brison-Saint-Innocent and the west shore of the lake

Whether you are preparing the Mont Revard via Trévignin, the Col de la Chambotte, the Col du Sapenay or the Lac du Bourget loop, a well-adapted position makes the difference on long climbs: less low back pain, an aligned knee and power transmitted more efficiently.

Reviews

★★★★★

« I went to Gaspard for a bike fit and I was not disappointed! Very calm, composed, attentive, takes his time, excellent advice (a saddle model better suited to my body), ultra-professional equipment. Available afterwards by email or message for questions, very responsive. I went back to see him after the changes he had recommended: there is real follow-up. I highly recommend him, with my eyes closed! »

★★★★★

« Great work by Gaspard! A few hundred kilometres after he reviewed my bike setup and gave me advice on pedalling properly, no more knee or back pain. The way to go if you want to ride for hours without trouble. »

★★★★★

« I went to see Gaspard because I had been suffering from pain in my right knee for over 2 years, especially on the bike. After one osteopathy session and a bike fit, the pain has completely gone. Impressive result, the pleasure of riding back in a single session. Very professional and effective work. I highly recommend him! »

FAQ

Bike fit in Aix-les-Bains: your questions

What is the route from Aix-les-Bains?

Five minutes on the D1201 towards Chambéry: the practice is in Viviers-du-Lac, just after Drumettaz-Clarafond, 3C chemin du Nèple, free parking. From the Grand Port or Brison-Saint-Innocent, allow ten minutes. By bike, the lakeside greenway brings you almost to the door, with no traffic.

Can I come by bike and follow with the lake loop?

Yes, and I recommend it. You arrive along the greenway, I look at your position as you arrive before opening the session, and you leave with the new settings on a flat loop: the east shore, towards Chindrieux and back, is well suited to testing them without the fatigue of a col. The Revard or the Chambotte can wait for a later ride, once the feelings are confirmed.

What time should I come from Aix?

Monday to Saturday, between 8 am and 8 pm. The 8 am slots suit those who work in Aix or Chambéry: you are at the office by 10 am. For a triathlete who wants to test the aerobar position, the late afternoon leaves time for a flat ride on the way out. Online booking, any time.

Who comes from Aix-les-Bains for a bike fit?

Many triathletes, the lake lends itself to it, for a bike fit on a time trial bike or with aerobars at €280. Road cyclists for the full bike fit at €250, cleats included. And everyday riders on e-bikes, for a basic bike fit at €90. A cleat setup alone costs €40.
