I saw James Van Toever for a bike fitting. He is incredibly knowledgeable about physical therapy and cycling. If you're looking to get a proper bike fit as a preventative measure against potential issues and pain which can result from a poor fit, I highly recommended coming in to see him. You get tons of time to talk, take measurements, and adjust your bike. He also knows a lot of cycling shops and people in Ottawa and can make further recommendations.

I had a bike fitting done with James last week and can't stop telling people about it. He was really detailed and meticulous. The whole process took a little over two hours and he answered all the questions I had for him. I was really curious know about all the changes he was making and he never made me feel like I was a bother. Above all else, the fit is great. I needed to change my seatpost and my stem but James rechecked all the measurements after the parts were swapped out at no cost.
