Question 1

What is the Body Geometry Fit service and how long does it take?

Accepted Answer

Village Bicycle Shop offers a comprehensive 1.5 to 3.0 hour fitting session that includes a rider profile interview, physical assessment of 25 body measurements (range-of-motion, flexibility, symmetry, core strength, foot structure), and cycling position analysis from both side and front views to optimize power and comfort. The shop uses this data-driven approach to ensure proper saddle height, reach, drop, and hip-knee-foot alignment.

Question 2

How much does a Body Geometry Fit cost and is there a credit toward a bike purchase?

Accepted Answer

Road or mountain bike fits cost $350, and triathlon or time trial fits cost $400. If a customer purchases a bike over $5,000 within one month of their fit, the full fit price is deducted from the bike price; for bikes under $5,000, half the fit price is credited. The fit must be performed before the bike purchase to qualify for the discount.

Question 3

Should a customer get a fit before or after buying a new bike?

Accepted Answer

Village Bicycle Shop recommends getting a Body Geometry Fit before purchasing a bike. The fit allows the shop to assess the rider's body and recommend the correct model and size, since buying the wrong geometry or size will result in handling issues that cannot be fully corrected through modifications alone.

Question 4

What should a customer bring to a fitting appointment?

Accepted Answer

Customers should bring their current shoes and pedals, saddle, existing bike, riding clothes, a towel, and a water bottle. The shop advises waiting to purchase new shoes, pedals, saddles, handlebars, stems, seatposts, or cranks until after the fit, as new items may need to be replaced if they don't match the final fit specifications.

Question 5

Are evening or weekend fitting appointments available?

Accepted Answer

Scheduling options vary by season and fitter. Customers should contact the store directly by phone or email to discuss available time slots for their preferred fitting appointment.

Question 6

Does Village Bicycle Shop offer financing options?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the shop currently offers 6 months financing on bike purchases.
