Road cycling is the discipline where position matters most: hours sitting on the same saddle, hands in the same place, a movement repeated 5,000 times an hour. An adjustment that seems trivial, 5 mm of saddle height or 2° of cleat rotation, makes the difference between an enjoyable 150 km ride and knee pain that lasts all summer.
What to bring: your bike, your shoes with cleats, your bib shorts and your current fit measurements if you have them.
| Area | Common postural cause |
|---|---|
| Knee | saddle too low or too high, cleats badly aligned, hip stiffness |
| Lower back | handlebar too far or too low for your mobility, pelvis locked in posterior tilt |
| Neck and shoulders | position too stretched out, handlebar too narrow, thoracic stiffness |
| Hands | too much weight on the front: saddle setback, saddle angle, handlebar height |
| Perineum | unsuitable or tilted saddle, pelvis rocking |
I treat the pain with osteopathy if needed, then I correct the position so it does not come back. Osteopath for cyclists.
Full bike fit €250, 1.5 to 2 hours, cleat setup included. Additional bike on the same day + €60. 10% off a second pair of shoes.

« 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! »

Every case is different: these stories illustrate the approach, they do not promise a result.
It is the best time: factory settings are averages. If you have not bought yet, the two-step bike fit (€250, same price) saves you from the wrong size: measurements and recommendations before you buy, setup afterwards.
For efficiency, and to stop pain from arriving as your mileage grows. An efficient position transmits power better and delays muscle fatigue on long rides.
Two to three rides in general. Major changes are made in stages and I show you how to fine-tune with the FramIQ app.
