Gill Ord (a Mosquito Director along with myself and Roger) last week attended the SICI (Serotta International Cycling Institute) Professional Bike Fitting school. This is the same course Roger did seven years ago (becoming one of the UK’s first pro Bike Fitters) and I took two years ago. It’s great that Gill has taken the course and means that once qualified we will have three pro Bike Fitters at Mosquito allowing us to offer a full time bike fitting service. We believe it’s also a real benefit that all have diferent cycling experiences and histories.
Anyway here’s Gill’s briuef accout of the course.
“Last week was a shock to my system, I went back to school, well ‘Bike Fitter School’

For 3 days I tried to cram my brain with all the information needed to become a Professional Bike Fitter, like Phil and Roger.
The first day was pretty hard mainly because of the medical terms for the bones structure of the legs and feet. On the second day as it became more practical I began to relax and then it started to come together, the bio dynamics and the bike geometry. Understanding the ideals and then working with each individuals physical ability, history and expectation.

Well I passed the exam with flying colours and now I have to do 10 fits that are assessed and by some time next year I will be a qualified Professional Bike Fitter”
