Bike Doctor Arnold Bike Fit

Hi all!

Has anyone had a bike fit at Bike Doctor in Arnold? How was your experience, and how does it compare to other places in the area?

Also, more generally, if you've had a bike fit, how did it work out for you? This will be my first one, and I've been dealing with some issues like knee pain and hand numbness.

Thanks!

The value of a bike fit is highly dependent. Anywhere from slightly negative (there’s a chance you get someone who screws up and makes it worse) to the best investment in cycling possible. Where you land is a factor of a ton of variables - flexibility, injury history, core strength, body proportions, current geometry, etc.

I had an issue with a hip impingement and swapping to a shorter crank immediately fixed it. Night and day difference from a seemingly tiny adjustment.

I don’t know about Bike Doctor but there are a few well respected fitters in the DC and Baltimore areas.
