One of the major bummers for the older athlete, is that no one knows how to make people younger.  All we can do is slow down the rate of aging.  The healthier we are, the slower we age….meaning the more slowly we progress toward that visit to the pearly gates.

#106 — Pain-free Cycling w/Kevin Schmidt PT, MSPT, PedalPT

A bike is a marvelous extension of the human body. Riding a bike is a like full-body meditation. When you do it right you are immersed in the present….lost in the pleasure of your body working well. That is, as long as your bike doesn’t cause pain.   Some people never have problems but others have to struggle to get the right combination of gear, body function, and set up. For those of us in that last category, a good bike fitter is priceless. 

So why is good bike fitting so hard to come by?  It turns out that it isn’t hard if you know what to look for. 

Kevin Schmidt knows bikes, and he knows bodies. He’s a good friend to the cyclist.
