Event Name: Science of Cycling, Part 2: Strength, Mobility, and Bike Fit for Injury Prevention When

Riding a bike shouldn’t hurt unless you want it to! Most cycling-related discomfort and injury is caused by bike set up, overuse, muscle imbalance, or most often, some combination of all three. Preventing discomfort and injury starts with customizing the bike for the unique anatomical needs of the rider to ensure appropriate support for the feet, knees, hips, and torso. Further steps to mitigate injury include off the bike work to improve strength, flexibility, and muscle balance.
In this round table discussion, we will bring together experts in Sports Medicine, Physical Therapy, and Bike Fit to discuss the most common cycling related injuries, where they happen, why they happen, and how prevent and treat them. Highlighting the importance of bike fit as well as strength and mobility training, we will delve into the steps you can take this year, and every year after, to stay injury free in the saddle.
