Want to ride your bike longer, stronger, and with less pain?
It starts with your bike fit.
If you’ve ever thought your bike rides don’t feel quite right - maybe you’re dealing with nagging discomfort, tingling hands, struggling to generate power, or just not enjoying longer rides as much as you should - a professional bike fit can be a game changer.
At Body Mechanix Physical Therapy, cyclists of all levels are discovering the difference a personalized BikeFit can make with Blake Carney, an experienced bike fitter, avid cyclist, and physical therapist.
What Is a Bike Fit?
A bike’s frame size is only the starting point. True bike fit goes far beyond that.
Every rider has a unique body - different limb lengths, mobility restrictions, strengths, and movement patterns. A professional bike fit takes all of that into account to position you on your bike in a way that maximizes comfort, efficiency, and performance.
Simply put: a proper bike fit helps your bike fit you.
Meet Blake Carney
Blake brings a rare combination of expertise to the table:
BikeFit certified professional
Former professional-level mountain bike racer
Physical therapist with years of experience
PT for the Team USA cycling team
This blend of high-level cycling experience and clinical knowledge means your fit isn’t just about the bike - it’s about your body, too.
Why a Bike Fit Matters
A well-executed bike fit can completely transform your riding experience. Riders often notice:
Increased comfort on short and long rides
The ability to ride longer and farther
Improved power output and efficiency
Reduced strain on joints and muscles
Lower risk of overuse injuries
If you’ve been dealing with knee pain, back tightness, numb hands, or foot discomfort, your bike setup could be a major contributing factor.
How the Process Works
Your session with Blake is a 1:1, highly individualized experience. The focus is on optimizing the three main contact points between you and your bike:
Pelvis (saddle position)
Feet (cleats and pedal interface)
Hands (handlebars and reach)
Each of these areas is carefully assessed and adjusted to improve alignment, comfort, and performance.
The Physical Therapy Advantage
What sets this BikeFit apart from many others is the integration of physical therapy.
Instead of simply adjusting the bike to accommodate limitations, Blake evaluates:
Mobility and flexibility
Strength imbalances
Movement patterns
This allows him to not only optimize your current setup but also identify opportunities to improve your body’s ability to ride more efficiently. In many cases, addressing these physical factors can elevate your performance even further.
What to Bring to Your Bike Fit
To get the most out of your session, come prepared with:
Your bike
Your helmet
The gear you typically ride in
Riding glasses (if you use them)
The goal is to replicate your real riding conditions as closely as possible.
Ride Better, Feel Better
Whether you’re a casual rider, weekend warrior, or competitive cyclist, a professional bike fit is one of the best investments you can make in your riding.
At Body Mechanix, the focus isn’t just on adjusting your bike - it’s on helping you move better, ride stronger, and stay injury-free.
If you’re ready to take your cycling to the next level, a bike fit with Blake Carney is a powerful place to start.
