By appointment

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is the trip from the region?

For most places on the Bergstrasse it is a short trip. The studio is in Bensheim, so it sits right in the region rather than far away. That is the advantage over a fit in a larger city.

Which bikes is this for?

Road, gravel, MTB, triathlon, e-bike and everyday bikes. The Bergstrasse mixes flat riding in the Rhine plain with climbs in the Odenwald, so the position has to work across both.

I took my gravel bike to Lloyd for a bike fitting and I'm completely satisfied. The bike fitting is absolutely worth every penny, and I can highly recommend it to everyone, whether you're a hobby cyclist or a pro. Lloyd takes an incredible amount of time, explains each step clearly, and even beginners can understand everything. With great patience, the bike is optimally adjusted step by step. I especially appreciated that he doesn't try to sell you unnecessary new components. Instead, he first gets the most out of the existing parts and only recommends new ones when they are truly necessary and beneficial. Not only is the bike analyzed, but also the rider. Mobility, posture, and any limitations are taken into account. He also provides easy-to-implement exercises that can be easily integrated into everyday life and contribute to a better riding position in the long run. At the end, you receive all the measurement data as well as comprehensive documentation with recommendations for further exercises, useful accessories, and potential optimizations. The atmosphere throughout the entire appointment was also very pleasant, relaxed, and professional. Anyone considering a bike fitting is definitely in the right place at Lloyd. Highly recommended!

The very next day I did an FTP test and, without changing a single thing, my FTP jumped by almost 10% β€” purely thanks to the improved position.

If you're struggling with cycling comfort or want to boost your performance, I can't recommend a session with Lloyd enough. I'm currently preparing for two ultra-distance events in 2026, and I wasn't happy with the results of a previous bike fitting. That setup worked fine for shorter rides, but after about six hours in the saddle the problems started: numb feet, mild pain in my left leg, and some lower back discomfort. Because Lloyd's studio is close to the Rhine-Main area, and thanks to his excellent Google reviews and recommendations in various triathlon and cycling forums, I decided to book a session with him. Even though it's not exactly cheap, it was absolutely worth every cent. Lloyd is genuinely friendly and easygoing. We started with a conversation about my goals and issues, then a short bike session and a quick physical assessment β€” flexibility, foot position and so on. From there he methodically adjusted the bike setup and cleat position until we were both happy. After my first long ride with the new setup my initial impression was completely confirmed: the position feels perfect β€” no more aches, numbness or tension anywhere. And the very next day I did an FTP test and, without changing a single thing, my FTP jumped by almost 10%, purely thanks to the improved position. Thank you Lloyd, we'll definitely meet again!

Due to a leg-length difference we also fitted my shoes and the pain in my knee is gone since then. With the saddle pressure analysis I have no problems with long rides anymore.

I had a very special bike fitting experience with Lloyd. After an evaluation of my problems (knee, back, numb hands/toes) and my goals we did a video analysis to adjust all parameters at my bike. But Lloyd also put a strong focus on my specific body characteristics (flexibility, strength etc.) and defined a personal pre-ride routine for me. Due to a length difference in one leg we also fitted my shoes and the pain in my knee is gone since then! :) With the additional pressure analysis of my saddle, we identified an issue with my contact to the saddle. It ended up in getting a new saddle and not having any problems with long rides anymore. Overall a perfect fitting experience, especially as I was able to return to do some fine tuning after a few rides. Will be back with my next bike for sure - highly recommended!
