By appointment

If you ride from Heidelberg, the weak points in a position usually show up once the terrain changes and the ride starts mixing climbing, rhythm changes and longer time in the saddle. That is where generic setup advice stops being useful.

Riders come to Bensheim because they want a calm one-to-one session, direct changes during the appointment and a position that still feels convincing later in the ride, not just while standing next to the bike.

Why riders from Heidelberg book here

Around Heidelberg, a ride can move quickly from flatter sections to climbing and longer weekend loops. That variety exposes neck tension, hand pressure and unstable support fast when the current setup is only partly right.

Most riders want more than a screenshot and a list of numbers. They want clear decisions they can understand and trust once the road starts asking harder questions.

The session for riders from Heidelberg

Why riders from Heidelberg book here

Heidelberg sits about 40 kilometres south of Bensheim, where the Neckar valley meets the Odenwald climbs, for example toward the Königstuhl. In this university city’s lively road and gravel scene, many riders do both within the same week: long, steady tempo along the Neckar valley and real climbing as soon as the valley opens up. That switch is exactly where a position gets tested — it either holds on both or only really works on one. After the movement screen, I check how you sit at a steady tempo and how that changes once the climb starts. I adjust saddle, cleats and cockpit under both conditions and set priorities in a clear order, rather than opening ten issues at once. You leave with a fit report and the final measurements. The full process is described at Bike Fitting in Bensheim.

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% — 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 — 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 — 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!
