Great feedback from Mark following his bike fit in Jan 2025

I recently updated my 12 year old bike fit with Gill Arnett of Positive Pedalling, who operates out of Chevin Cycles in Otley. The experience was excellent. Gill fitted my bike to take account of an aging body and numerous injuries, leaving me with a comfortable cycling position whilst ensuring minimum power leakage which has improved my performance.
Gill, who is a qualified physiotherapist as well as a bike fit expert, is open, proactive and engaging.
As cyclists we invest serious sums of money in our bikes without necessarily ensuring that the bike actually fits our body. Having a bike fit with Gill can make a positive difference.”

I have just had an absolutely game changing experience with a bike fit by Gill. I have struggled for years with niggles and discomfort on the bike and tried many things to make myself more comfortable and efficient on my bike. I finally made the decision to go for a bike fit and I am so glad I did. Gill was simply outstanding making the entire experience flow, her knowledge and ability to explain made it such an educational and pleasurable experience. I was so excited to try out my new position and went on a ride I have done 100’s of times and no surprise achieved 12 Strava new pb’s and felt so much more powerful and efficient on the bike. I cannot recommend Gill high enough, don’t struggle on your own and go see Gill asap, I should have done this ages ago!

I had been considering a bike fit for some time and was attracted to Positive Pedalling because of Gill’s physio background. Like many cyclists, I have a few legacy injuries and wanted them professionally considered as part of the fit. Having had my fitting session this afternoon, I am only too happy to recommend Positive Pedalling. The session lasted 2 1/2 hours and was thorough and precise. Gill firstly went through a clearly structured programme of physical assessment informed by the content of my pre-appointment questionnaire. This was followed by video analysis and measurement on the bike. The results of the fit were clearly explained and made sense to me. Overall, Gill’s professionalism and easy manner made me feel comfortable throughout and I believe the experience was highly beneficial. She even made an adaptation to my shoe there and then - it felt like I had an extra gear on the ride home!
