Andy Tomkins   Sportive Cycle Coaching

Sportive Cycle Coaching was borne with the intent to help ordinary folks become more comfortable on their bikes and improve the three F’s of their riding – Fitter, Faster, Further. Fundamentally, our mission is to make coaching and bike fitting services more readily available to those that share our passion for cycling.

In order to turn this mission in to practical reality, we’ve identified two main outcomes that we can deliver:

We make sure that clients ride their bikes in a position that makes them as comfortable as possible.

We help clients to get fitter so they can ride faster and/or further.

These outcomes are delivered in two corresponding ways:

• A Bike Fit assessment of the client’s current riding position then making incremental changes to the relative positions of the three touch points – pedals, handlebars and saddle.

By doing so, clients will see reduced levels of discomfort such as neck ache, shoulder ache and pins & needles. Some clients may actually see a total removal of these discomforts but that is not something we can guarantee!

• A structured training plan of at least 3 months’ duration. The activities in the plan will place stresses on the client’s body so that it is forced to adapt and become better equipped to deal with the activities, thereby increasing overall fitness.
