b"Bike fit was once purely a quote-unquote \\u201cphilosophy.\\u201d In the old days, you may have experienced getting a so-called fit by a guy at a bike shop with a plumb line and a theory. Now, bike fit is a full-fledged science\\u2014there are video cameras everywhere, 3D modeling, and so on. That being said, it\\u2019s a science that is still influenced by philosophy\\u2014what each fitter brings to the exam and analysis that impacts his or her perspective.\\nToday, we\\u2019ve gathered three of the great minds in bike fit to discuss this complex and extremely important aspect of cycling. When we sat down to discuss the topic, to no one\\u2019s surprise, they spoke for hours, so we\\u2019ve decided to split this conversation into two parts.\\nToday, we start with a discussion about the philosophy of fit, and how science fits into that philosophy. In part 2, we\\u2019ll discuss the practical implications of bike fit, from the debate over aerodynamics versus power, to our guest\\u2019s feelings about technology versus experience and intuition.\\nOur guests\\u2019 immense experience and influence on the world of bike fit cannot possibly be captured in a single sentence, but that\\u2019s what I\\u2019ll try to do.\\nDr. Andy Pruitt is the director of sports medicine here at Fast Talk, and one of the pioneers of the study of cycling biomechanics. Our next guest has appeared on Fast Talk many times before, and he also continues to host his own podcast, \\u201cCycling in Alignment.\\u201d Of course, I speak of Colby Pearce. Finally, making his Fast Talk debut is Todd Carver, co-founder of Ret\\xfcl and the head of human performance at Specialized, which now owns the Ret\\xfcl fit technology.\\nWhat do each of our guests have to say about his fit philosophy? What\\u2019s involved in a fit? What's the goal of a fit? Stay tuned.\\nLet's get you fit\\u2026 and make you fast!\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices"
