Our Bike fit takes around 9 hours and we analyse everything from your feet up. We start with a full Postural Assessment and Flexibility Test. This enables us to work out which muscles need correcting before fitting. We then test your body composition (body fat, muscle, visceral fat and resting metabolic rate). This is followed by a Pedal Stroke Analysis on the Wattbike to show how subtle changes affect power output, comfort and pedalling efficiency.

Throwback to one of the most unforgettable moments from our London to Paris ride 2014

On the penultimate stage, someone had the brilliant (or questionable! ) idea of an impromptu game of football… in cycling shoes, not football boots.

To make it even more surreal, we were sharing the pitch with legends like Ian Wright, Geoff Thomas MBE and Aidy Boothroyd

Ned Bolton volunteered to go in goal. I whipped in what I still maintain was an absolute pearler of a cross… someone rose to meet it, landed awkwardly, and poor Ned ended up with a broken toe!

This photo was taken after the amazing ambulance crew had worked their magic. The worst of the pain had eased by then, and thankfully he could even manage a smile.

Sorry again, Ned… although I’m still claiming the assist!

Not every cyclist has the flexibility to achieve a “traditional” pedalling position, and that’s where innovative engineering can make all the difference.

has very limited knee flexion, which would normally make cycling uncomfortable—or even impossible—with a conventional crank setup.
Thanks to the clever swing arm system from High Path Engineering, her foot no longer has to travel above the height of the bottom bracket during the pedal stroke.
The result is a far more natural movement, allowing people with restricted knee flexion, arthritis, or similar mobility challenges to continue enjoying cycling with minimal impact on their pedalling symmetry.

It’s a brilliant example of how the right equipment, combined with the right bike fit, can keep people doing what they love.

White Shoes + White Socks = 50 Watts!

We recently had the pleasure of welcoming Gus Dutton into the studio to get fitted for a new pair of Lake CX302 cycling shoes.

Gus is one of the UK’s most exciting junior cyclists and a rider with a very bright future ahead of him. He’s also great company, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.

What many people don’t realise is that when you buy cycling shoes from us, you’re not just buying a pair of shoes. Every shoe purchase includes a professional cleat alignment and fitting service, ensuring you’re positioned for maximum comfort, efficiency and performance from day one.

Whether you’re one of the best junior riders in the country like Gus, chasing podiums every weekend, or simply an enthusiastic amateur looking to get more from your riding, you’ll receive exactly the same level of care and attention. Every rider is treated like a professional cyclist.

The Lake CX302 continues to be one of our favourite performance shoes, combining outstanding comfort, fit and power transfer. And let’s be honest, white shoes and white socks never hurt either.

Thanks for choosing us, Gus. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for you.

Working with riders like Tom Portsmouth is exactly why we love what we do.

We’ve been working with Tom for over a year now and, despite the huge results he’s achieving, he remains one of the most humble and grounded professional cyclists we’ve ever worked with.

This season has been a massive step forward for him, with two podium finishes already in huge European races during 2026 — and we’re incredibly proud to have played a small part in that journey.

Our work with Tom has focused on improving how he delivers power to the pedals by refining the contact points at the feet using the incredible Lake Cycling shoes alongside fully custom insoles. We’ve also worked hard on improving his pedalling efficiency and breathing mechanics to help him perform more efficiently under pressure.

Seeing those changes translate into real-world performance at the highest level is what it’s all about.

More importantly, Tom is simply a fantastic person to work with and someone we’re proud to support. We’re excited to see what the rest of the season holds.

We had an important reminder in the studio this week — and it’s one worth sharing.

A rider was referred to us for breathing difficulties on the bike. As many of you know, breathing is something we specialise in at our bikefit studio, so this seemed like a straightforward case.

But something didn’t add up.

✔️ No history of asthma
✔️ No previous breathing issues
✔️ No obvious postural restrictions

Just a sudden, unexplained drop in power… and riding feeling much harder than it should.

Following further investigation, the cause wasn’t breathing mechanics at all — it was a heart condition.

This is why awareness matters:

If you’re a cyclist — especially over 40 — and you experience:

• Unusual breathlessness
• A sudden or unexplained drop in power
• Efforts feeling disproportionately hard
• A change that doesn’t resolve with rest or training adjustments

Don’t ignore it.
Don’t try to “train through it.”

Go and speak to your GP.

Performance issues aren’t always about fitness, position, or technique. Sometimes your body is asking for help in a different way.
Thank you for watching.

I’ve just watched the video and realised I’m heavy breathing throughout the whole speech!
