Posture, Gearing, and Bike Fit Clinic for Women

February 19, 2011

The Century Cycles store in Medina hosted a free Posture, Gearing, and Bike Fit Clinic for Women on February 19, 2011 from 4:00 to 6:00pm. The special instructor for this ladies-only clinic was Jackie Baker, a pro rider and expert trainer from Giant Bicycles (and Medina native) who is a liaison from Giant Bicycle's comprehensive Giant for Women program.

The topics that Jackie will presented included:

  • Proper riding posture on road and mountain bikes
  • How to choose a properly-fitting bike
  • How to fix common posture and fit problems
  • The gear women need to make riding their bikes more fun

Women riders of all ages, bicycling types, and skill levels attended, and refreshments were served.
