ergotec-bikefitting.de – better ergonomics and less pain when cycling
Cycling is a particularly sustainable and healthy way to get around, and it’s fun too. The problem is that, according to scientific studies, up to 90 per cent of all cyclists experience discomfort at some point whilst cycling. This is usually caused by the bike not being adjusted correctly, as ergonomic factors are overlooked. This is where ergotec-bikefitting.de comes to the rescue: the online portal uses a symptoms advisor to get to the root of the causes of pain whilst cycling. ergotec-bikefitting.de also helps its users to adjust their bikes correctly.
Knee pain after cycling and other discomforts
Whether it’s the head, neck, buttocks, arms, feet, hands or knee joint: the affected areas of the body and the nature of the discomforts are varied and by no means limited to pain in the area of the bicycle saddle. The interactive symptoms guide helps to pinpoint and analyse the pain precisely. It takes into account the duration and nature of the pain, as well as the individual type of bicycle. On this basis, the user receives practical recommendations on how to adjust components such as the bicycle saddle correctly.
Finding the optimal seating position for your bicycle
Pain-free cycling always depends on adjusting the bike ergonomically. The aim is to determine the optimal interaction between the rider’s individual anatomy and the three contact points: the handlebars, saddle and pedals. RichtigRadfahren.de makes this process easier than ever: Concise explanatory videos, tailored to each type of bike, show you how to achieve the correct riding position. The promise: in just under a quarter of an hour and in only five steps, almost any bike or e-bike can be adjusted ergonomically.
