TESTIMONIALS

A few words from Coaches and Certified Fitters:

BikeFit has been a tremendous addition to our services menu. As a fitness centre and not a bike retailer, we recognize the uniqueness in offering this type of service. We pride ourselves on providing exceptional service to our program participants, and as such feel a responsibility to diversify our offerings, so we felt that BikeFit would be the perfect complement to our indoor cycling programs and endurance training packages. That was a great decision. With very little effort we make dramatic differences to peoples’ riding comfort and efficiency, which translates into better performance, fewer injuries, and much more enjoyment on the bike. And the word is spreading. We’ve had several people come from far away distances to take advantage of these services, and to date no one has left without praising the value of the short time they’ve spent with us. Thank you to Paul and his team for the great education.

Things are going well with the fits. We have had excellent response from customers who have had the service. This fall we plan to send out an announcement to our customers.

Hi Paul,

Well I finally did put wedges on myself yesterday after 15 years of feeling that there was a gap under the medial side of my foot during pedaling. The sense of a firm, solid platform for pressing on when pedaling was immediate and quite satisfying. Since I had child-care lined up, I then went for a longer ride than I am accustomed to (I no longer "train", but just ride when I can). I felt strong and rode harder than I probably should have.

Phil & Staff at Bike Fit Systems,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you that I got the Bicycle Fitting System last week. Last night I did my first bike fit using the wedges, the forefoot measuring device and the goniometer at Lewis & Clark Outfitters in Fayetteville. It worked very well and it had just that bit more of a professional appearance than if it was done in my garage at home. The person I fitted ended up ordering a new set of bars and stem from the shop, so it worked out well for both myself and the shop.
One other person saw me doing the fitting and said "I want that done to me, too". Also, a friend of the guy that I fitted yesterday wants to schedule an appointment. Because of the demand, I am now working with the shop to set up some more designated space, to handle doing more bike fits.

Thanks again for helping me see the potential to have Bike Fitting impact how I can build more relationships for my Coaching Services and I look forward to talking to you about future opportunities.

Subject: Unbelievable!

Phil,
The products you sent me are incredible. I have ridden the last two weeks pain free for the first time in 2 years. So much so, I'm considering not having my cortisone shots in my hip next week. Think I will this last time and then never again. The combination of the pedal extenders and the wedges have made a huge difference. Thank you very much. Will take the marketing materials to the Bike Garage, Bike Line and my doctor to tell them about it.

"Yippee!! Knee Pain Gone!", is what Greg Brandon, of Manitoba, Canada says after using our Cleat Wedges, in his blog.

"Kit and Paul, Just wanted to update you a little - I rode the entire 114 mile Olympic Cycling Classic with 10,000 ft of climbing with NO PAIN - NONE!!! Then I rode for an hour off-road Sunday morning on a 29" single speed rigid mountain bike - NO PAIN!!! You guys ROCK!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you,"

Reed D. Pike

"Paul, I've been racing for 30 years now, and have never felt as comfortable as I have since I put the wedges on my shoes. They are so good I'm afraid to wear my training shoes until I buy another set. It's like all the power I produce goes directly into my pedal stroke and therefore to the drive train, heck I've even been winning sprints!! Not something that happened much in the last 30 years. I would recommend the wedge to anyone who wants to go faster on their bike. An inexpensive way to improve your cycling performance, plus, It's legal!"
Mick Walsh, Cat. 1 racer, ex-Washington State RR Champion and Irish National Team Member.

This is from a cyclist who was fit by a shop trained in The Bicycle Fitting System, Cycle Fit, in the UK:

"Hi there, I had the Cleat Wedge system fitted on my cycling shoes by a UK company called Cyclefit UK and I dare say this is the single most "it bloody works" product I have ever encountered in cycling.....it totally fixed my foot problems....numbness and severe pain on the outside of the foot on long rides.....fantastic!!!!! Thanks,"

Here is a testimonial from a patient that was fitted with our product by our very own Kit Vogel:

"Paul, this is a quick thanks. For the past several years I have pedaled my bike with the feeling that my right foot was going to slide off the pedals and with a pronounced swing to my right knee and hip. Then, starting two weeks ago I developed a sharp pain in my Achilles and almost had to stop riding. Fortunately on Sunday when the pain kicked in I happened to be riding with Kit. After a late appointment last night, I rode 45 minutes this morning without Achilles pain and feeling, for the first time in years, like I was pedaling on the ball of my right foot. The difference? 2 little thin pieces of purple plastic under my cleat. What a brilliant idea!"
Dave Mann, Seattle, WA

"Thanks, Paul and Kit, for the superb bike fit. I have had two separate bike fits in the past and your fitting was the best I ever had. I went on a 4-hour ride on Saturday, after the fit, and felt stronger and more comfortable than ever before. I appreciated the time you took to make sure you got everything correct, and how you explained everything to me for future reference. Thanks again,"
Greg Kauper, Seattle, WA

Our dealers talk about us:

I want to take this time to thank you for the great products you have created for the cycling community. Your Cleat Wedge system has improved the cycling experience for so many of my customers. At Cool Breeze Cyclery we have committed ourselves to deliver to our customers the best fit possible for performance and comfort, and your wedges are to me with out a doubt where it all starts. I receive emails and phones call on a regular basis thanking us for the difference your wedge has made for them, be it power, function, or pain relief.

The Cleat Wedge is only as good as the technician that's using it though, and therefore I can not stress enough how valuable it was to have you visit our store to properly train our fit technicians. I believe serious fit specialist owe it to their customers to get this training and use these products.

Thanks,

Hi Paul,
Just thought I would let you know that your Wedges make such an improvement to cyclist's riding. You should be nominated to the Cycling Hall of Fame......in fact I am going to nominate you.

We wedged Nicole Cooke, the current Women's World Road Race Champion recently and she has just ordered some more for her spare shoes!

The British World Performance Plan Doctor is interested and has asked us to send him some.... he saw the Australian Team were using them or something similar (when they beat us).

I will let you know how it goes.

Do you have any frame stickers of your Cleat Wedges?

All the best,
