By appointment

Heppenheim sits directly south of Bensheim. For riders from Heppenheim, my studio is only a few minutes away. You get a short trip and still a thorough one-to-one analysis. You work directly with me, Lloyd Thomas.

Many riders here ride the classic Bergstrasse mix: flat rolling in the plain and climbs into the Odenwald, for example over the Juhöhe. That mix asks a lot of the position.

Why the short trip is still worth it

A precise fit works across many rides. If your neck, hands or saddle slow you down on longer routes, the cause is rarely a single part. I find the factors that really drive the load in your case, instead of guessing.

The session for riders from Heppenheim

Heppenheim is only a few minutes south of my studio, below Starkenburg Castle. The short drive does not mean a shorter session. I start with a movement screen off the bike, then move to the bike itself. Many riders from Heppenheim cover both sides of the same ride: flat tempo riding across the Rhine plain and climbs toward the Juhöhe in the Odenwald. That switch between flat and climb is exactly where a position gets tested — it either holds on both or only really works on one. I check saddle, cleats and cockpit under load in each case, then work through changes in a clear order rather than adjusting everything at once. You leave with a fit report showing the final measurements. For the full process behind this, see Bike Fitting in Bensheim.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Heppenheim from Bensheim?

Only a few minutes. Heppenheim sits directly south of Bensheim, so the trip is short and the session is still thorough.

Does a fit help with pain on the climbs?

Yes. In the Odenwald it shows quickly when a position becomes unstable on a climb. I look at how you sit under load and where the stress really comes from.

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!
