The Bergstrasse is my region. My studio, CycleFit Europe, is in Bensheim, right in the middle of it. For riders from Heppenheim, Zwingenberg, Auerbach, Lorsch or Weinheim, the trip is short. You work directly with me, Lloyd Thomas, in every session.
That is a real difference from a fit in a distant city. You get there quickly, and you still get a thorough one-to-one analysis rather than a quick standard measurement.
Why a position on the Bergstrasse has to work across two worlds
If you ride here, you know both. To the west lies the Rhine plain with flat, fast rolling. To the east the Odenwald begins, with climbs like the Melibokus or the Felsberg.
A position that only stays calm on the flat often falls apart on the climb. So I look at how you sit under load, how stable the pelvis stays, and how you take pressure on the way up and down.
The session across the whole region
On the Bergstrasse you meet two worlds in the same ride: the flat Rhine plain to the west and the Odenwald climbs to the east, with summits like the Melibokus. Whether you come from Heppenheim, Zwingenberg, Lorsch or Weinheim, that switch is the common thread of the region, and the session is built around exactly that. After the movement screen, I look at how your position works both at flat tempo and under the higher load of a climb. I adjust saddle, cleats and cockpit under both conditions and set priorities so you leave with a clear order of what matters, not a long list of open issues. You leave with a fit report and the final measurements. If you ride from one specific town, the pages below take you further; the full process is described at Bike Fitting in Bensheim.
