This is the only dude among hundreds on KZbin who explained this so clearly

[@BulletproofCycling]

Thank you 🙏

[@user-gb8od9xn4p]

Can’t agree more

[@terencecalimpon2134]

TRUE!!! Total respect!

[@kpang79]

So true, dead straight to the point.

[@hamletcabrerart]

I’ve watched many, many videos, this is the most comprehensive of them, thank you! 🙌

[@ldabc4917]

Finally someone explaining it in simple and easy to understand language

[@mattybarb]

I’ve had this problem for a while and no one has explained the pelvis connection as well as you have. Cheers to pain-free riding! Great video!!

[@EricVuTran]

This man is a gift to the confusing world of road cycling

[@mihaelachiscovici]

We tackled assembling the bike as a family project. kzbin.infoUgkxzg0clhbtRf2gGxPkVETFKJJKGqdsorQu The package is heavy, but I have 2 teen boys that were able to move it. The written instructions were great- we didn't need to watch the videos, but it was good knowing that the option was there if we needed it. After we were able to get it set up, the boys each rode 3 miles and I rode 8 and the bike stayed quiet. The display is easy to reset, and you can put it on whichever setting you are using (time, distance, calories, etc). I will say that my butt is a little sore from the seat, but that could be because I haven't rode in a while. While it is comfortable for me, it was not comfortable with the seat position for my friend (could not move the seat back far enough and he slightly looked like a kid riding a tricycle that he had outgrown). He also said that the seat hurt his manly parts. We are going to look for a different seat that will be compatible with this bike for him.I did purchase the Wahoo Cadence sensor and strapped it to the crank of one of the pedals. This will sync with my Apple Watch, iPhone and will import data in to my Health app. Wahoo does have other sensors available other than cadence. I can also keep either my phone or my iPad on the display and they both feel pretty secure.

[@cheery-hex]

okay please don't take this the wrong way but you are unintentionally incredibly funny. It's a compliment!

[@BulletproofCycling]

I take that as a lovely compliment ❤️❤️👍

[@Quitekid-ob9re]

best bike fitting tutorial so far.

[@BulletproofCycling]

Thank you

[@joachimwasilewski246]

Thank you for this video!

[@Totozme]

You're a mix of Daniel Murphy (Ewen Bremner), Fat Boy Slim and Colin McRae... What a legend

[@BulletproofCycling]

I’ll take that - thanks 🙏

[@thedmxtube]

Probably the best explanation of how to improve neck pain I've seen, many thanks! Have been experiencing neck pain on most longer rides and will be looking at these tweaks asap. 👍

[@BulletproofCycling]

That is very kind David 👍

[@JarosawTabor]

I got the same feedback when I was doing my bike fitting session (in Poland) before my second ultra marathon (540km 80h, 10 000m up). It was such a surprise to me that one of the feedback was to throw away my 46cm bars for 44 or even 42cm. Because of the handlebar bag I stayed with 44cm. Compared to my previous "home-made" bike fitting and 46cm bars, the benefits of going narrower was mindblowing. Thank you for this video! Now I'm trying to follow your steps to get the MTB fit right - without spending money for now. If I lived where you work, I would definitely pay for your fitting session.

[@thedmxtube]

@@JarosawTabor 540km! Impressive, I have some work to do. 👌

Thank you for this good advice! I put it in practice during my ride today, and it did help me with my neck pain! However, I still have some job to do: my core/back muscles have to work more.

[@EZSteve]

The neck is just one reason I tour on a recumbent. I ride upright bikes for local rides of shorter distances, but being reclined solves many typical unpleasant (and well documented) issues that all traditional cyclists experience (neck, wrists, rear end, you name it). It also allows viewing the road and the scenery with no neck craning. My recumbent happens to be a trike, which even removes the crash and burn scenario you alluded to with your crash and subsequent surgical intervention. Recumbent riders may not be "cool" according to the hard-core roadie crowd, such as those represented by GCN (Global Cycling Network), but hey, we never ride in pain and never feel a need to get off our vehicles and toss them away. Recumbent riding is a very positive, and pain-free, experience! It adds a huge element of fun back into riding, regardless of whether a rider is a cross country adventurer like me, or just a day ride cyclist. steve

[@BulletproofCycling]

👍👍👍

[@SteveWeltman]

Coach, this was SUPER useful for me. I do have neck pain (actually my levator, scap and traps) are on fire 20 or so miles in from looking up and I'm constantly stretching my neck from being in the crunched up position.

[@marcincieslak9629]

Great video, priceless knowledge. Thanks Scott!

[@Miles_on_bikes]

What a good video!

[@tambiensereparacalzado]

Hi, this video has been a great help to me. I cycled for 2 months and after every session my neck was really sore. I measured my reach with the technique you showed in the video and it was perfect, but I was putting all the weight on the front of the bike. After watching this video I have now ridden 3 times without any pain in my neck, thank you very much. Greetings from Argentina. 🚲

[@cesarali8001]

Thanks from Argentina. I think this May be fix my headache after riding too long. Ill give a try.

[@mayabeejakubowska7677]

[@stereostig5983]

Super helpful, concise and interesting to watch. Thank you so much!

[@BulletproofCycling]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mike-vd2qt]

Scott, you are most excellent! :-) I've been cycling over 45 years, now at 68 years old with arthritis in three of my neck vertebrae. Before Covid I was going to the gym with a trainer, and on my own. Squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press, light weight, higher reps, along with a regimen of stretches and ball exercises. I quit the gym during Covid and now the neck pain and headaches have returned. My touring bike cockpit is set-up old man style with a short reach, and 10mm drop to bar from saddle height. Time to get that cross training with weights back on track!!! Great videos, thanks!

[@BulletproofCycling]

That is very kind George - thank you 🙏
