At Forward Chiropractic, we’re passionate about helping cyclists feel better, ride stronger, and perform at their best—on any bike, anywhere. And now, with our Virtual Bike Fit, we’re bringing that expertise to your doorstep. Whether you're in regional Victoria, interstate, or just prefer the convenience of staying home, our virtual service makes professional bike fitting more accessible than ever.

In this post, we’ll walk you through what the Virtual Bike Fit involves, who it’s for, how it works, and the benefits you can expect from getting your position dialled—no matter where you ride.

Why Bike Fit Matters

If you’ve ever finished a ride with sore knees, a tight lower back, numb hands, or saddle discomfort, your bike fit could be to blame. Most riders make do with a “good enough” setup, often using a trial-and-error approach or relying on stock sizing recommendations. And while it’s possible to adapt, over time, small inefficiencies and imbalances can lead to persistent pain, lost power, and even injury.

A proper bike fit isn’t just about avoiding discomfort—it’s about unlocking your potential. A good fit balances comfort, efficiency, and performance. It allows you to ride longer, recover faster, and stay healthier. It can also improve your aerodynamics and pedalling economy, especially if you're training for an event or chasing a new PB.

Traditionally, this level of customisation was only available through in-person assessments—but we’re changing that.

What Is a Virtual Bike Fit?

Our Virtual Bike Fit is a remote one-on-one service designed to replicate the expert guidance of an in-clinic fit session, but delivered entirely online. Using video analysis, rider feedback, and our clinical knowledge of biomechanics and performance, we assess your current setup and provide precise, actionable recommendations tailored to your goals and body.

We look at:

• Saddle height and setback
• Reach and handlebar position
• Cleat and foot alignment
• Postural cues and asymmetries
• Pedalling technique
• And more...

It’s the same expertise we use for in-person fits—just adapted for the online environment.

Who It’s For

This service is perfect for:

• Cyclists outside Melbourne who can’t easily access our clinic
• Busy professionals who want a fit on their schedule, without travel
• Riders dealing with discomfort but unsure where to start
• Athletes preparing for events who want to optimise performance
• Beginner cyclists wanting a solid foundation without overthinking gear or setup

Whether you ride on the road, gravel, or indoors, we can tailor the process to your needs and your current bike.

What You’ll Need

You don’t need fancy gear or tech to get started—just the basics:

• A smartphone or camera to film your riding position
• Your current bike and riding setup (on the road, a trainer, or stationary)
• A stable surface or trainer if filming indoors
• Access to Zoom or another video call platform
• Optional: a second pair of hands to help record video

After booking, we’ll send clear instructions on how to capture the right footage for analysis. Don’t worry—we’ve worked with all kinds of setups, and we’ll guide you through it step by step.

How It Works

1. Initial Questionnaire
   You’ll complete a short form about your riding history, goals, current issues, and any previous injuries. This helps us understand your background and where you want to improve.
2. Video Submission
   You’ll record short clips of you riding your bike—either outside or on a trainer—and send them to us. We’ll guide you through camera angles, posture, and pedalling so we get the full picture.
3. Analysis and Assessment
   Dr. Anders will review your video and use slow-motion analysis alongside our clinical knowledge of biomechanics to evaluate your position and movement patterns.
4. Virtual Consultation
   We’ll jump on a video call to discuss our findings and walk you through a series of changes to improve comfort, efficiency, and performance. You’ll be able to ask questions in real-time, and we’ll show you how to make the adjustments directly on your bike.
5. Follow-Up Support
   After your fit, we’ll send you a personalised summary of our recommendations. We also offer optional follow-up support to check in on how the adjustments feel after a few rides and make further refinements if needed.
