Published: Nov. 11, 2021, noon

b'In the beginning, a bike fit would include a guy at a bike shop with a plumb line and a theory. Now, bike fit is a full-fledged science with video cameras, 3D models, and a greater understanding of human anatomy and physiology as it pertains to cycling.\\nIn part 2 of our bike fit discussion, we\\u2019ll explore the practical implications of bike fit, from the debate over aerodynamics versus power to our guest\\u2019s feelings about technology versus experience and intuition, and many other subjects, generally in the realm of "methodology."\\nOnce again we\'re joined by three of the great minds in bike fit.\\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.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
