Book excerpt: The new BikeFit manual "When the Foot Meets the Pedal" is the foundation for every good bicycle fit.From Max Testa, MD: Over 30 years ago during my Sports Medicine Fellowship, I was told that you cannot assess a cyclist's performance or injury without looking at the bike fit. Since then, I have rarely evaluated a cyclist in clinic without checking her/his position on the bike. With practice, I also learned that the foot-pedal interface is a key factor for a successful bike fit.With their new book "When the Foot Meets the Pedal," established bike fit experts Paul Swift and Dr. Katrina Vogel have completed another step in their effort to educate on the applied science of bike fitting. This easy-to-read, well-illustrated book condenses a lot of information about the proper assessment of the cleat's positioning and alignment. The readers, from bike fit professionals to the more serious cyclists, will find a lot of valuable and practical information, supported by great illustrations that take them step-by-step from the basics to the advanced understanding of the topic. I strongly recommend the reading of this book. It will be a fun and productive experience."Max Testa, M.D.Intermountain LiveWell & Sport Performance Ctr, Salt Lake City, UTChief Medical Official, BMC Racing professional cycling team, USA
