Where it hurts on the bike tells you where to look first. 🚲

Front of the knee: saddle may be too low
Back of the knee: saddle may be too high
Numb hands: too much weight on the hands
Low back: reach too long, or hips not hinging

These are starting points, not a diagnosis. If it keeps happening, let’s look at the bike and your body together.

Quick test: sit down on the floor, then stand back up — no hands, no knees for support.

This is a solid check on your real-world functional strength and balance, not just flexibility.

(It took me 7 tries to film this gracefully. 😅 No comment.)

Let us know how it went.👇🏼

Daily affirmations, cyclist edition 😅

If your back keeps bothering you mid-ride, it’s worth finding out why.

Pretty sure we’ve all said at least one of these.

You did the hip test - here’s what your result means.🔍

One side tighter than the other? Control problem.
Both sides rough? Just needs more movement.

We’ll show you exactly what to do.☝🏼

Drop a comment if these helped, or come see us if it’s not budging.

How tight are your hips, really?

Try this test for 30 seconds. If it feels impossible, that’s not a flexibility problem - it’s usually a control problem.

Comment which side is worse. We’ll tell you what it means.👇🏼

Three days before 70.3 Boulder, Sierra got fit at a local bike shop. She raced that fit - hand numbness, low back pain, and a handful of other issues along the way. Then she raced 70.3 Worlds on it too.

With her big goals in December coming up, she came in to get it done right.

A good bike fit isn’t just about looking fast or squeezing out watts - it’s about how your body actually holds up on the bike, mile after mile, and how it feels the second you get off and start running.

Can’t wait to see what Sierra does this December! 🚴🏻‍♀️

If you don’t like doing your calf raises, you should try again. 🤨

Calf raises aren’t a filler exercise. Your calves are doing more work than you think. They propel you forward every time you walk, run, or jump, and they’re a huge part of keeping your ankles stable under load.

Strong calves means better ankle stability and fewer shin or achilles issues down the line.

Tight hamstrings when you run? It might not be a flexibility problem.

Most runners try to stretch their way out of hamstring tightness — but the hamstring is often over-stretched and under-loaded, not short. That “tight” feeling is frequently a strength issue in disguise.

Quick test: lie down, one leg flat, raise the other straight leg as high as it goes without bending the knee. Watch for the low back rounding to fake extra range — that’s compensation, not mobility.

Build real capacity with active straight leg raises (with a strap) and Romanian deadlifts.

Save this for your next run 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻

BIG NEWS: MMC now offers bike fits 🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏼‍♂️

A clinical, movement-based approach to bike fitting, because fit issues aren’t just mechanical, they’re biomechanical.
