Professional Fit Seminar
Tom here,
I attended Paul's seminar at Signature Cycle in NYC and I must say that I came away with a wealth of knowledge on bicycle fit. From detailed anatomic realities of the human body and how they must interact with the immutable laws of physics on the bike to the infinite diversity of each individual, I was extremely impressed and pleased with the quality of Paul Levine's presentation. What struck me as the most compelling element of his breakdown of the fit process is how simple the actual fit is and how different it turns out to be for each individual due to different size, shape and flexibility of each athlete. With a background of bike fit in the industry that dates back to the early days of The New England Cycling Academy's Fit Kit in the 1980's, I was not honestly sure what I could expect to learn when I travelled up to New York City to attend Paul's Professional Bike Fit seminar. His application of anatomy, range of motion and physics attaches a clear and concise vocabulary to proper fit and clears up common misconceptions like a hot sun burns away a morning fog. As I continue to gain experience in fitting bicycles under different people, I feel much better prepared to deal with the incredible variety of athletes and their individual fobiles. As David said, like any serious pursuit of knowlege this is a continuing education for myself and all of us. I feel very lucky to have been able to soak up Paul Levine's information and point of view these last few days and I look forward to continuing to expand my horizons.
