Bike fitting youth cyclists (under 18s)

An incorrect cycling position at a young age can have serious consequences for the growth and development of a child/youth cyclist. The importance of a bike fitting for youth cyclists cannot be underestimated! Fortunately, I have already been able to guide various youth cyclists towards a healthy development on the bike! 

In order to prevent skewed growth or instability, it is extra important for youth cyclists to ride a bicycle that is perfectly adapted to their current stage of development. In addition, this bicycle position must be adjusted several times a year. Unfortunately, the majority of youth cyclists still ride around with unsuitable components. We try to bring about a change by giving advice to parents and trainers at associations. All in the interest of the long-term health of young riders. In recent years I have coached several youth cyclists, with great results as outcomes.
Visit me together with your child for a bike fit to achieve a healthy physical development on the bike!
