- Authors

- Abstract
For cyclists, correct bike set-up is paramount in promoting comfort, enhancing performance and preventing injury Many cyclists when starting out, and even when they gain more experience, have little insight into how to set-up their bike correctly. There is a multitude of often conflicting information available on this topic which can be difficult to follow and could appear confusing to someone who has limited knowledge in the area. Furthermore, much of the information fails to stress the relationship between poor bike set-up and injury. This article will look at the reasons why correct bike set-up is essential, with particular reference to injury. A practical guide clarifying key points for any cyclist is provided.
