I found Mark at Ride Science through some research on extensive bike fitting and saddle pressure mapping to help with some significant female specific saddle area discomfort I have had pretty consistently during long Ironman training rides leading up to my full Ironman in a few weeks. Mark was very personable, made me feel very comfortable, and was extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his feedback.

    Mark helped me out with some last-minute bike fit tweaks virtually before Ironman Lake Placid and was fantastic. I sent him some videos and he helped me make adjustments to get more comfortable. His knowledge and understanding of tri bike fits is incredibly impressive, especially given that he was able to work with me remotely. I would highly recommend Mark to other triathletes.

    I went into Mark’s shop with the recommend that he was the “bike guy” if you felt your bike was not quite the right fit!
    Mark replaced the seat and post and did some adjustments to the shifting levers on the handlebars! It was amazing how much better I felt sitting and pedaling!
    He was extremely knowledgeable and explained just why the changes he made would change the way I would feel on my bike!
    Thank you Mike….hope to see you on one of the amazing trails we have in Northern Michigan!
