Getting a bike fit with Matt was an excellent experience. He was super attentive, professional, and thorough in making sure my bike was set up perfectly for me. You can tell he really cares about getting every detail right. I highly recommend Matt if you’re looking for a dialed, personalized bike fit.

What a class act. Great selection of skis, boots, clothing etc. Kate ran the fitting for my 16 year old. Attentive. Knowledgeable. And very pleasant to work with. Could not be more pleased with the experience.
