We've got one for the geeks this week as I welcome Ivan O'Gorman of IOG Bike Fit and Consulting to the podcast for a deep dive on bike fitting and performance. Ivan regularly works with recreational cyclists and triathletes of all levels, as well as World Tour professionals and Olympians. As a seven-time IRONMAN World Championship finisher and two-time LT 100 MTB finisher, Ivan has significant first-hand knowledge of the many factors athletes must consider to maximize results. Plus, did we mention that he's engaging, animated, and incredibly smart?

Bike fitting, one would argue, is equal parts art and science, but as you'll hear, it's much more than just changing a saddle position and sending you on your way without regard to comfort and performance.

If you've recently purchased a new bike (and we know many of you have), or if you want to get dialed in for 2021, now is a great time to get your equipment in order. It doesn't matter if you're a competitve triathlete eeking out every last watt, or a recreational rider who simply wants to enjoy a new activity with your family. You'll enjoy it more when you feel good.

Key Discussion Topics Include:

The value of a good bike fit for both recreational riders and competitive athletes
What's more important? Comfort, aerodynamics, or optimal return?
What are some of the biggest mistakes you see in bike position and fit?
What factors go into an IOG Bike Fit?
What are some considerations that riders should make when they are thinking about equipment and bike purchases?
Crank Length! Is shorter always better?
Why is right now a great time for a bike consult or fit?
What you can expect from a virtual fit or consultation?
