Cycling is increasingly popular, aspirational; and; technical. The goal-setting cyclist is now demanding more performance and efficiency from their equipment and from their own bodies. Proveable science, information and data are part of the modern rider's lexicon. To many discerning consumers a recognised bike-fit is perceived as essential to maximise their efficiency, increase their riding pleasure and protect against injury.

The SICI Personalised Class is perfect for cycle dealers and other interested parties who want to offer professional bike fit services. Individuals who pass the course and provide documentation of completed training fits receive the SICI/CycleFit Bike Fit Professional certification.
The CycleFit course will be run over three days in Central London;on December 16th to 18th. The cost of the course is £1265 per person - this includes snacks, and beverages as well as training manual, CD, certificate, one group meal and in-store branding.
The cost does not include travel to the course, accommodation or main meals. A £165 discount is available to any course member that joins SICI.

SICI is a member-based organisation that has two primary roles. First as the USA's primary provider of 'fitting'-related educational courses to the cycling community. And second they are standard-bearer of advanced cycling science and research by linking the academic and practitioner communities - the focus of which is SICI's annual hosting of the Cycling Science Symposium in Colorado.

CycleFit started in 2002 as the only organisation in Europe that was devoted to the subject of cycling ergonomics and bio-mechanics. The importance of scientifically and painstakingly evaluating each individual's position on a bicycle was, and still is, the core principal upon which all CycleFit's activities are built.
In the last six years CycleFit has emerged as the UK's most prominant and respected voice in the field of building better human-to-bicycle relationships. CycleFit presently has five 'Advanced Certified' technicians at Covent Garden and undertakes in excess of 1000 CycleFit sessions per annum. They work with commuters, sportiv riders as well as Olympic champions and past and current word champions.
