Aerro Bike Fit is located at 49 Daly Street, Kurralta Park — just minutes from the Adelaide CBD. The studio is easily accessible from across Adelaide, including Norwood, Unley, Glenelg, Henley Beach, and the inner suburbs.

Yes — Kurralta Park is our home base. All sessions are conducted in our dedicated studio at 49 Daly Street, through clinical movement assessment and motion-capture technology.

Yes. Riders travel to Aerro from across Adelaide — including from Norwood, Unley, Glenelg, Henley Beach, North Adelaide, and the surrounding suburbs. If you're dealing with discomfort or want a more efficient position on the bike, it's worth the trip.

All bike fits at Aerro are conducted by Harri, an experienced physiotherapist with specialist expertise in cycling biomechanics. This means your assessment isn't just about the bike — it's grounded in clinical knowledge of how the body moves, loads, and adapts under effort.

A physio bike fitter holds a degree in physiotherapy, covering anatomy, biomechanics, injury assessment, and movement analysis. At Aerro, that clinical background is supported by further training in bike fitting, bicycle mechanics, and real-world cycling experience — going beyond what a standard bike fit technician can offer.

A bike shop fit typically focuses on the bike's geometry and measurements. At Aerro, the fit begins with a clinical physiotherapy assessment — evaluating your movement patterns, injury history, and how your body moves under load. That clinical layer changes the reasoning process and the quality of decisions made, especially when pain or asymmetry are involved.

A physio bike fit at Aerro starts with a full clinical assessment — covering your injury history, mobility, and movement patterns — before any adjustments are made to the bike. On-bike analysis uses motion-capture technology to assess how you move under load, and your position is adjusted to suit your body, not a standard template.

A standard bike fit typically focuses on the bike's measurements — stack, reach, and component setup. A physio bike fit starts with the rider: assessing how your body moves, what your injury history looks like, and how asymmetries or restrictions might affect your position. That clinical foundation changes how every decision is made.

Motion capture bike fitting uses sensors or video-based tracking to analyse how your body moves in real time while you ride. At Aerro, this technology is used to assess joint angles, movement patterns, and asymmetries that are less noticeable to the naked eye — giving a more precise, objective foundation for position adjustments.

A session at Aerro begins with a clinical physiotherapy assessment — covering your history, mobility, and how your body moves off the bike. You then ride while motion-capture technology analyses your position and movement patterns. Adjustments are made progressively based on feedback from the rider and what's observed, and the session concludes with documented recommendations.

Always. At Aerro, the assessment begins with the body — looking at mobility, strength, movement patterns, and injury history before anything on the bike is reviewed. The bike is then adjusted to match what the body needs, not the other way around.

Yes. Motion-capture technology is a core part of the assessment at Aerro. It gives an objective picture of how your body moves on the bike — including angles, asymmetries, and movement patterns that are less visible through observation alone. This makes for more precise, evidence-based decisions.

Yes, a physio bike fit can often resolve cycling knee pain. The most common causes — saddle height and set-back, cleat alignment, and asymmetry through the pedal stroke — are all assessed and corrected during a fit. Because Aerro is led by a physiotherapist, underlying movement restrictions are identified too, not just the bike setup.

In many cases, yes. Lower back pain while cycling is often caused by an excessive reach, sub-optimal saddle tilt, or issues with saddle height and stance width. A physio bike fit addresses these causes — adjusting the bike where needed and identifying any body limitations that may be contributing to the problem.

Yes, especially on longer rides. Neck pain on the bike is usually a result of upper body strain caused by too much weight on the hands, or an over-flexed position resulting in excessive extension at the neck — particularly when the seat-to-bar drop is too low, or the handlebar setup doesn't match your body. A physio bike fit assesses the full chain, to identify and treat the cause.

Yes, it can. Shoulder pain while cycling is often caused by excessive weight bearing through the arms, which is usually linked to body balance, handlebar height, or saddle position. Adjusting the front-end setup — stem length, bar height, or arm-pad position — can significantly reduce upper limb load.

Yes. Numbness in the hands or feet while cycling is almost always a pressure or positioning issue. Hand numbness typically relates to weight distribution and upper body position; foot numbness is usually tied to shoe fit, insole support, or cleat placement. Both are assessed during a physio bike fit.

Often, yes. Saddle pain while cycling is rarely just about the saddle itself. Pelvic position, saddle height, fore-aft placement, and how your body loads through each pedal stroke all contribute. A physio bike fit addresses the position first — because many saddle issues resolve without needing a new saddle.

In many cases, yes. Hot foot on the bike — that burning or tingling sensation in the ball of the foot — is usually caused by excessive pressure through the forefoot, cleat position, or shoe stiffness. Cleat alignment and footbed support are key areas assessed during the fit.

Yes. Hip pain while cycling is often caused by how your body loads through the pedal stroke — particularly when hip mobility is restricted or the saddle height and fore-aft position aren't matched to how you move. Because the assessment at Aerro includes clinical movement analysis, these restrictions are identified alongside the bike setup.

Yes, a physio bike fit can help address cycling-related ITB pain. Iliotibial band issues on the bike are commonly linked to saddle height, Q-factor, foot position, and training load. A physiotherapist-led fit looks at both the contributing bike setup factors and the underlying movement patterns that may be driving the problem.

Yes. Achilles issues on the bike are often connected to cleat position, saddle height, or how force is transferred through the foot during the pedal stroke. Adjusting these factors can significantly reduce load on the achilles tendon — particularly when combined with a clinical assessment of how the lower limb is moving.

Yes. Previous injuries are an important part of the assessment process at Aerro. A history of injury often explains current pain, compensations, or movement patterns — and understanding that history allows the fit to be built around your actual needs, not a generic template.

That's very common. Pain that only emerges after an hour or two usually reflects a position the body can tolerate initially but struggles to sustain under fatigue or extended duration. This kind of issue is important to mention during the assessment, as it helps guide both the setup and the clinical evaluation and recommendations.

Yes, a bike fit can significantly reduce the risk of cycling-related injury. The goal isn't just to make you feel better in the short-term — it's to build a position your body can sustain over time, without accumulating the stress that leads to overuse injuries.

Yes — though performance is rarely the starting point. When your position is matched to how your body actually moves, you ride more efficiently and with less wasted energy. Comfort and performance are more connected than most riders expect: when one improves, the other tends to follow.

Anyone who rides regularly can benefit from a bike fit — whether something feels wrong, or you simply want a more consistent, sustainable position that prioritises efficiency and minimises injury risk. A physio bike fit is particularly valuable if you're managing pain, returning after injury, training for an event, starting out on a new bike, or looking to purchase a new bike.

Often, yes. Starting with a well-matched position from the beginning means you're building habits and fitness on a foundation that suits your body — rather than spending years compensating for a setup that doesn't work. It's easier to set things right early than to correct them later.

Yes. At higher training volumes or intensities, even small positional inefficiencies become significant. Experienced cyclists often come in after a change in training load, a new bike, or the gradual onset of pain they've been managing — and find that a clinical review changes things meaningfully.

Yes, commuter cyclists can benefit significantly from a bike fit. Riding consistently — even at low intensity — accumulates hours of repetitive load. If the position doesn't suit your body, that daily commute can become uncomfortable, or result in overuse injuries. A fit that prioritises comfort and sustainability is particularly valuable for regular commuters.

Yes. When you return to cycling after a break — whether from injury, illness, or life — your body has changed, even if the bike hasn't. A reassessment helps you return to riding in a position that suits where your body is now, rather than where it was when you last rode.

If you're experiencing any discomfort — knee pain, back pain, saddle soreness, numbness — it's a clear sign the position needs reviewing. But a bike fit is also worthwhile if you're pain-free and simply want to know your setup is as good as it can be. Most riders who've never had a clinical fit find that improvements are possible.

At Aerro, we fit road bikes, gravel bikes, time trial and triathlon bikes, mountain bikes, and e-bikes. If you ride it regularly, it's worth fitting properly — the principles of a physiotherapy-led assessment apply regardless of the discipline.

Yes. Road bikes are the most common type we see at Aerro. The demands of road cycling — sustained hours in the same position — make a well-matched fit particularly important for comfort, performance, and injury prevention.

Yes. Gravel bikes often require a more considered setup because they're ridden across varied terrain. The position needs to work across conditions — not just feel good on a smooth road — and that nuance is part of what we assess.

Yes. TT and triathlon bike positions are among the most aggressive and unique in cycling, which makes getting them right even more important. The aero position places specific demands on the body that need to be carefully matched to the rider's actual mobility and strength.

Yes, depending on the setup. Mountain bike fitting has different demands — suspension travel, geometry, and rider movement all interact differently — but position still matters for comfort, handling, and efficiency, particularly for longer rides or riders managing pain.

Yes, in most cases. The principles of a physiotherapy-led fit apply equally to e-bikes. The position still needs to suit your body — and many e-bike riders are returning to cycling after time away, which makes a clinical assessment particularly worthwhile.

Yes. There are options to fit two bikes within a single extended session. This is particularly useful if you're looking to match positions across multiple bikes, or a training and race setup.

At Aerro we keep things simple. An initial physio bike fit is $300. That includes the full clinical assessment and all on-bike adjustments made during the session. Follow-up options are also available if refinements are needed after you've ridden with the new position.

The initial session at Aerro includes a full physiotherapy assessment, bike measurements (before and after), motion-capture analysis of your position on the bike, and all adjustments made during the session. You'll leave with a documented position and a clear understanding of why each change was made.

Yes. Bike fitting isn't always resolved in a single session — particularly if significant changes are made that your body needs time to adapt to. At Aerro, we follow up with every rider after a designated period of time in their new position, and follow-up appointments are available to reassess, fine-tune, and confirm that the position is working well over time.

A physio bike fit at Aerro typically takes around two hours. This allows time for the clinical assessment, on-bike observation, and a series of adjustments — made progressively so that each change can be properly assessed before moving to the next.

In many cases, yes. Because Aerro's bike fits are conducted by a physiotherapist, sessions may be eligible for a private health fund rebate under your extras cover — depending on your fund and level of cover. Check with your provider beforehand, as rebate amounts vary.

Bring your bike, cycling shoes, and the kit you typically ride in. If you use orthotics or custom insoles, bring those too. Everything that's part of your regular riding setup can affect your position — having it all in the session produces better results.

Yes — cycling shoes should always come with you to a bike fit. Cleat position is a critical part of the assessment, and the fit won't be complete without assessing how your foot interfaces with the pedal.

Come ready to ride. Wear your usual cycling kit, bring your bike and shoes, and if you have any injury or medical history relevant to your riding, think about what you'd like to share. There's no special preparation required — just arrive ready to ride and be assessed.

Yes. Foot numbness during long rides is usually a pressure or circulation issue linked to shoe fit, insole support, or cleat position — and it often gets worse as riding time increases — especially in hotter conditions. All of these factors are assessed during a physio bike fit, and adjustments are made to reduce or eliminate the issue.

Yes. Hand numbness while cycling is typically related to how much weight is being borne through the arms, driven by your body balance on the bike, and handlebar setup. Adjusting saddle set-back, tilt, and bar height is often enough to resolve it — but the clinical assessment also checks for any underlying contributors.

That's worth assessing. Feeling unstable or cramped on the bike is usually a sign that your position or bike components aren't quite right — whether it's the reach, stack, saddle placement, or overall geometry. During your session your body and position will be assessed to achieve your best position on the bike, and any additional recommendations that are relevant.

No. Many riders at Aerro have no pain at all — they come in to refine their position, optimise for an event, or get dialled in on a new bike. A physio bike fit is valuable for any rider who wants a position that is tailored to their unique anatomy and movement patterns.

Yes — getting a bike fit when you buy a new bike is ideal timing. A new bike is set up for a generic rider, not for you specifically. A physio bike fit translates your body's needs into an actual position on that bike, which is a much better start than riding until problems emerge.

Often, yes. Component changes — particularly saddles, stems, cranks, or handlebars — can shift your position in ways that aren't obvious immediately. If something feels different after a change, a reassessment can confirm whether the setup is optimised for your body.

Yes. Cleat position is one of the most important adjustments in a bike fit. Fore-aft placement, lateral position, and rotational alignment all affect how force travels through your foot, ankle, knee, and hip. Getting it right is particularly important for riders managing lower limb pain or inefficiency.

Yes. Saddle height, fore-aft position, and tilt are among the most significant factors in how load is distributed through your body on the bike. Even small changes in saddle height can meaningfully affect knee load, hip comfort, and pelvic control — so this is always a focus area.

Yes. Handlebar reach and height affect how much your upper body has to work to maintain your position. Getting the front-end setup right reduces strain on the neck, shoulders, and lower back — and often makes a significant difference to how sustainable the position feels on longer rides. Some integrated handlebar systems don't allow on-the-spot adjustments, in which case recommendations will be made.

Yes. Bike fitting at Aerro is built around the individual rider. Female cyclists often have different considerations regarding their bike fit including saddle interactionand stance-width. The clinical assessment ensures the position is catered to your individual needs.

Yes. Bike fitting becomes more important as your body changes with age. Mobility, strength, and tissue tolerance all shift over time — and a position that worked well in your 30s may not suit your body in your 50s or 60s. A physio-led assessment accounts for those changes and builds a position that still lets you ride well.

Yes. Triathletes make up a large proportion of the cyclists visiting Aerro. Triathlon bikes require positions that are both aerodynamic and sustainable over extended periods of time. A physio bike fit for triathlon riders considers your flexibility and movement patterns to find a position that will support your triathlon goals on the bike.
