In-Person Bike Fitting With Padraig

A better bike fit doesn’t just improve comfort. It transforms how your bike handles.
— Patrick Brady

I’ve worn many hats in the bike industry, but fitting riders to their bikes is one of the most satisfying roles I’ve ever had—second only to writing about cycling.

Why? Because it’s personal. One rider. One bike. One clear mission:

Make the bike fit the rider—not the other way around.

After more than three decades of fitting cyclists, there’s one phrase I still love hearing at the end of a session:

“Oh wow… that feels so much better.”

Services

A great bike fit does far more than eliminate discomfort. When a bike is properly aligned with your body, riders almost always experience a cascade of benefits:

• More comfort
• More power
• Better aerodynamics
• Smoother, more confident handling

For riders interested in maximizing speed and efficiency, I also offer AiRO aerodynamic fittings. Using aerodynamic modeling software, we can analyze your riding position and refine it to reduce drag while preserving comfort and sustainable power.

The moment when a rider first feels the difference is always satisfying. But my favorite moment usually comes weeks later, when they tell me something unexpected:

“My bike just handles better now.”

It’s a hidden bonus—like discovering an Easter egg in a game you thought you’d already mastered.

Together, we’ll turn your bike into a seamless extension of your body.
