BIKEFIT TOUR SCHEDULE

Group Health Cooperative - November 6, 2007, Seattle, WA - USA

Bike Fit Systems to present at GHC's Fall Physical and Occupational Therapy service line retreat

Group Health Cooperative is bringing in a variety of speakers for this event and one of them will be BikeFit's Director of Education, Katrina Vogel, MS DPT, or simply Kit, as she prefers to be called.

The presence of Group Health in the Seattle area and its support for the cycling community is truly amazing. Just to mention a couple of examples are the STP Ride and the Marymoor Velodrome for group classes and races.

BikeFit is excited to be sharing our knowledge with a group that is so supportive of cycling and look forward to working with them more in the future. Group Health is certainly one place to think of when you ride a bike in the North West. For more information about GHC, visit the Group Health website.

Tri Fit Trifecta - November 5-8, 2007, "Xantusia", Valyermo, CA - USA

Don't miss Dan Empfield, John Cobb and Paul Swift. ...No, it's not a new version of the "3 Stooges", but this opportunity is likely to be fun and educational for all who attend.

What do these three people have in common? Each has designed ground-breaking products and created ideas used by many of the best cyclists in the world. These products and ideas will simply help you ride faster and do so with more comfort. Their continued influence has an impact for all of us who ride bikes.

As is par for the course for these individuals, they are offering another "first" in the industry. Never before has a group with such diversity and impact been together at the same time and in the same place, offering their combined expertise. You can be a part of this "first" also by signing up to attend this Tri Fit Trifecta.

Learn fit and be fitted from the icons who are, today, still cutting the edge into the future.

Bike Fit Tour with Paul Swift - Alabama & Georgia - October 2007

Our schedule is bringing Paul to Auburn, AL, Oct 18 - 20th, for the Chris Hinds Memorial Bike Ride.

Chris, who co-owned Southside Bicycles, introduced Paul to Auburn. While attending Auburn University, Paul conducted one of his first Bike Fit studies on the foot/pedal interface. In addition to the memorial bike ride, Paul will be providing several Bike Fits for the current Auburn Flyers Cycling Team, which was started by Chris, and of which Paul was a member in the 1990s.

This trip is your opportunity to book a date on the Bike Fit Tour. Dates are also available for locations in Georgia. To save your spot, simply set up two paying Bike Fit Sessions for Paul and he will conduct the Bike Fits, all while offering insight to you & your Bike Fit Technicians. This pre-arranged event saves you money, as typical Bike Fit Appearances or Education-Training stops by Paul normally include travel & other related costs. You can book your preferred customers or shop employees/coaches for this opportunity to meet and work directly with Paul Swift, one of the fastest American cyclists to ever ride a bicycle. Hear & see how Paul came up with "the original" Bicycle Fitting System, which is the first fitting system to look at the critical front view. and so much more. Don't miss seeing the tools and process in action, first hand.

Paul Swift and Bike Fit Systems to provide Bike Fitting Services to the Rock Racing Pro Cycling Team

During the week of April 10-14, 2007, Paul will be in Marina Del Rey, CA, working with The Rock Racing Pro Cycling Team (sponsored by Rock & Republic, Cadillac, Scott Bicycles, Shimano) and their bike fit. Paul has worked with a couple of the members in the past, in particular Haldane Morris, who led the team to contact Bike Fit Systems. Haldane says, "I don't let anyone else touch my shoes."

Paul will see how he can add more speed--as well as comfort--to this newly formed team making a name for itself and its riders on the National Racing Calendar (NRC) of USA Cycling.

With the 2007 Group Health Seattle International Bicycle Expo (March 10 & 11) behind us, Bike Fit Systems wants to take a moment to thank those - including long-time friend, Frankie Andreu - who stopped by our booth for making the show such a huge success. Following is a quick recap of the weekend - our first Trade Show event for Bike Fit Systems & 2007.

• Total participants: 8,541 people
• Total exhibitors: 151 (a new Expo record!)
• 32% of the exhibitors represented non-profit organizations
• 16% of the exhibitors were new this year

Despite the rain and drips, the Bike Fit Systems team was very pleased with attendance, sales figures, and the overall show. The new Adrenaline Alley, featuring Ryan Leech and the New Belgium beer garden seemed to be quite popular among attendees.

Bike Fit Systems attended Frostbike on February 17 & 18, 2007, in freezing cold Minnesota. This year's event had the best attendance for Quality Bicycle Products' Frostbike to date.

Of Paul Swift's lecture, 'Bike Fit on a Budget', QBP's Chad Fortune said, "This was the best attended lecture of the weekend." Look for Paul again next year at this event.

Dealers who attended, please don't forget to go the Frostbike website and give your feedback on the event!

On January 21-24, Bike Fit Systems attended the SICI Bike Fit Symposium in Boulder CO, and our own Dr Katrina Vogel was a featured presenter. Kit's topic covered the important Foot - Pedal interface. Her session was packed and the attendees did not want her to leave the stage. She was constantly being approached by attendees for the remainder of the events.
