Cycle U Testimonial:
Craig,
Thank you again so much for the great session of education and bike fitting today. You were very informative and helpful. It was just the kind of information I have been seeking and needing, like the better way to pedal and the proper adjustments for the bike, and the reasons why. I am very much looking forward to working into the new adjustments and practicing the better pedaling methods, and I will let you know in several weeks how things progress.
Your service and help is so invaluable to us regular cyclists out here, and I do want you to know how much I appreciate your work and efforts.
Take care, and I’ll talk with you soon.
