Pedal PT

Bike-Friendly Physical Therapy Within the first month, I felt healthier, happier, and more energetic.

Our Story – (How we got here)

In 2007, I made the huge decision to leave a large corporate PT job due to the length of my frustrating daily car commute to/from Tualatin, which often would take well over an hour to get home from the office on I-5. I took a less paying job much closer to home, which provided me with a great opportunity: The ability to commute by bike, and what a wonderful, exciting, and inspiring experience it turned out to be. I slept better at night, was more alert during the day, and found that I had less general illness and stress throughout the entire year. Riding the bike was beneficial on so many levels, however I soon found out that the daily toll of riding day after day, month after month resulted in pain in my neck, shoulders, knees and back- even on my short commute. Most cyclists, shops, and commuters I talked to experienced similar symptoms, who all just shrugged it off, assuming it was just part of riding a bike. As a Physical Therapist who treats patients for a living, I found this general assumption odd, and over the course of a few years, I invested my time in advanced coursework regarding cycling injury and bike fitting concepts– which surprisingly, are NOT part of any Physical Therapy school curriculum. And even more interesting is the fact that there was not a specialized Physical Therapy office dedicated to these cyclists w unique needs- especially in inner SE Portland. Fast forward a few years to 2012: We design and built-out our bike-friendly space from a beautiful 1920s brick warehouse that used to store the largest private vinyl record collection in the world (seriously), and in the bike-centric Clinton District on SE 25th and Clinton. So please, stop in and see what we’re all about- we’re so much more than just Physical Therapy and Bike Fit, but a movement in supporting the global health of our community, both on and off the bicycle.

Having a leg-length discrepancy (LLD) is very common, but it can definitely affect one’s BikeFit positioning and can result in symptoms up the chain — especially if you are using clipless pedals.

Check out our newest YouTube vid where Kevin discusses the basics of LLD, when it’s appropriate to correct this, and answer a common question about cleat shims, and many, many other ways to manage!

Adaptable equipment definitely has its place in BikeFit, but in some cases it can actually cause more problems than it attempts to solve..

A quick glance at this rider shoe notes an installed adapter that allows the rider to use an SPD / 2-bolt cleat on a 3-hole road shoe. Unfortunately, once the 2-bolt SPD cleat was installed however, it allowed ZERO adjustment fore/aft, which was needed to optimize the rider’s foot positioning on the pedal… 🤔

The interesting part was that after removing the adapter piece, low-and-behold, the shoe actually had a 2-bolt cleat plate already there(!), thus allowing the needed fore/aft positioning.. So in this case, the adapter was completely unnecessary, and actually caused more problems than solutions, as it already had a 2-bolt system available on the shoe.

Take home point: There’s a TON of amazing adaptable equipment available these days, but it’s always good to check in with a professional before installing equipment as you might not need it at all!

Had someone ask how many BikeFit visits we’ve done thus far in 2025… ❓

So…. I just tallied them up — what’s your guess??

Scroll left to find the answer! 🥳

In BikeFit, it all starts with the feet, and if your positioning is off here, it can lead up the chain and place stress on other issues, including your ankles, knees, hips, and lower back.

Today, we discuss basic foot-on-pedal positioning, and no matter if you’re clipping in or just riding block pedals with sneakers, there is technically an optimal position we’re aiming for when to foot hits the pedal! 🚲 🤔 👟

Tandem BikeFitting!?? You bet!

These bikes do offer some challenges since each rider’s position affects the others, so it’s important to Fit the rider on the front (called the ‘Pilot’) before setting up the rider in the back, referred to as the ‘Stoker’.

Oftentimes we’ll also see some form of shock-absorbing seaport on the back, since the Stoker usually cannot see the road in front of them regarding road surface, but allows for a buffer to unseen bumps or chatter on the road.

Another challenge for most Bike Fitters usually becomes weight capacity, as oftentimes having both riders on the tandem will definitely exceed the 250Lbs weight limit of riders + bike on literally EVERY trainer on the market today (yep, Wahoo, Kickr, ROLLR, Zwift, Saris, etc)— and yet another reason why we created and developed the robust, 500Lbs capacity trainer — for all bikes and ALL riders!

Concerns About Return to Riding After a Joint Replacement?

A new study finds that most people who rode bikes before surgery are back on two wheels in just 3–6 months after the replacement! 🚴‍♀️ 🙌🏼💥🚲

Perfect news if you’re wondering when you can hit the trails again post-hip or knee replacement. Talk to your surgeon for a tailored recovery plan, which commonly will also utilize “Pre-Hab” exercises prior to surgery!
