Women's Bike Fit


Bike fittings can be tricky business, especially for women. There are just a lot of different frame geometries available; Traditional, Compact, Womens Specific. The materials we use to build bikes changes how we can put the materials together which changes the physical geometry of the bike frame.

The rise in female ridership has forced the market to support women riders. We are in a pretty interesting time in the sport of cycling with regard to women. As a result of all these changes and developments I have been researching, studying, and attempting the task of learning everything there is to know about fitting women to bicycles.

For those of you who have questions about fit, try the Wrench Science fit calculator. I can show you how to use the information to find the right bike.
