Bikefit based on science and medical expertise!
In this package, I use the latest techniques to determine your optimal cycling position. To do this, I will start with an intake interview where your goals, any complaints and complaint history will be discussed. This is followed by a physical examination in which I will look at the mobility and flexibility of the most important joints and muscles that are involved during cycling. Then, using a laser system, I place the cleats optimally under your shoes. Finally, a dynamic analysis will follow on your own bike. In this dynamic analysis, your ideal saddle position and steering adjustment are determined. I do this with the Velogicfit 3D camera system. The old and new sizes are incorporated into a report, so you can review everything again afterwards.
This package does not include the fitting of custom bicycle soles.
Do you have multiple bikes? Then it is possible to get a bike fit for this second/third/etc. bike at a discounted rate. Costs €100, - per additional bike.
Why a bike measurement?
A bike measurement is one of the most important things you can do to get the most out of your cycling performance.

Customer Reviews
Professional in two ways. Knowledge of the body and the right equipment. This combination makes it the ideal bike fit. And then also fun and the opportunity to plan it in the evening. Thanks Coen!
Last year I did a bike fit and had custom insoles made this year. You will be helped by Coen in a pleasant and professional way. Highly recommended if you want to get just a little more out of cycling!
After a year of experiencing foot problems while cycling and trying various options, I ended up with Coen. After measuring, I ended up on different shoes and these completely resolved my complaints, very happy to be able to cycle painlessly again!
Coen is a very nice guest but above all a knowledgeable professional! The Optimal Pro package helped me a lot. Coen has the latest equipment available that allows him to adjust your bike perfectly to you. Also great advice about shoes. No question is too much, he takes the time to explain everything. Unlike a previous bike fit elsewhere, this is now a very positive experience!
I want to recommend a bike fit at Coen to every cyclist. Coen is a real sports fanatic, professional, independent and takes all the time for you. I had been looking for the right position for a long time. To no avail, and that's why I lost the pleasure of my biggest hobby. I get back on my bike with confidence and enthusiasm. That was missing for a long time. Absolutely recommended and definitely worth the ride from Venlo for me!
Coen is a passionate athlete, physiotherapist and bike fitter. These three parts are the golden combination of an ideal fit. Coen first starts with a physical exam (physio), which he uses as input for the start of the bike fit. During the bike fit, Coen has enough material to make the final fit. In my case, I was also able to borrow a saddle to try for the ideal position on my triathlon bike. Top 👌
Last year I had to adjust the shoe plates, unfortunately I had to buy new shoes due to an accident, but experience was very good so I had to go back to Coen to get it adjusted. Due to my and him's vacation, he was able to plan me quickly in between, really great service. I immediately went for a round and the shoes and pictures are really great. Super service again!!
Got to do a saddle meeting with Coen today. Extremely knowledgeable, tidy and fast in his communication. In addition to the saddle meeting, he had also taken the time to give me some tips as a new cyclist, to adjust the cleats and to adjust the height of the saddle... Happy with my new saddle!! Thanks Coen!
A good roadmap
In this package, I optimize your cycling position with advanced techniques. After an intake interview about your goals and any complaints, a physical examination of the mobility and flexibility of crucial joints and muscles follows. With a laser system, I place the cleats perfectly under your shoes. A dynamic analysis on your own bike, with Velogicfit 3D camera and GeBiomized saddle pressure measurement, determines the ideal saddle position and steering adjustment. The results are incorporated into a report, so you can view and understand everything at your leisure.
On the basis of a personal conversation, we will discuss your goals, level, and expectations of the measurement. In addition, we discuss any physical complaints that are occurring or have played in the past. This gives us both a clear picture of your expectations. This is the common thread of your bike fit.
Your cycling position is customized, tailored to your body. Body screening is therefore an important part of achieving an optimal cycling position. Here we look at, among other things:
- Agility & stability
- Back and pelvic position
- Any leg length difference
- Foot position and foot stability
- Analysis of any complaints/injuries
The cooperation between the body and the bike consists of three contact points. The seat, hands and feet. The feet transmit the forces from the muscles through the pedal system to the pedals. It's also the only point where you're mechanically fixated on your bike. Correctly positioned cleats are therefore essential. The front, rear, rotation and lateral capabilities of this system must be precisely adjusted to prevent instability, muscle overload and pressure points. Depending on your pedal system and the information from the previous steps, we adjust the cleats. I will also guide you through the different types and brands of pedal systems that the market offers, all with slightly different features. We'll discuss whether your pedals are a good fit for you. We also look at whether insoles can be of added value for you.
Cycling is a dynamic movement, that's why we look at your posture while cycling. This will happen on your own bike, which will be placed on a bike trainer. While you're cycling, the camera records all movements using the markers on your body. Joint angles, movement patterns and movement results are accurately recorded via the Velogicfit software. We analyse this extensively and get an objective picture. In this way, we walk through all parts of the body step by step and thus create your ideal cycling position.
This gives us both a clear picture of how the pressure is distributed on your saddle while cycling. We want to prevent the pinching of blood vessels and nerves in this one. By analyzing this feedback, we can optimally adjust your saddle. Using the GeBiomized test saddles, we can determine which saddle is actually suitable for you. The saddle pressure measurement also shows objectively how you move on the saddle while cycling. This ultimately allows you to find out in detail what is the most stable and efficient position for you.
At the end of bikefit, the bike is adjusted to your optimal position. All measurements prior to and at the end of the measurement are processed in a report. This also includes further advice and details that were discussed during the session. This also includes tips and exercises to get even more out of your posture in the future! You will only really experience the changes on the road yourself in the end. If something still doesn't feel quite right, you can come back free of charge within 5 weeks to put the finishing touches.
