Bikes and e-bikes
The shop's home page shows Trek bikes, including the Procaliber, Verve, Checkpoint and Marlin lines, and it has an e-bike collection page. Its e-bike page says pedal-assist lets riders of different speeds ride together.
The staff page introduces the team, and lists bikes such as Trek, Kona and Schwinn among what staff ride.
Precision Fit
Precision Fit starts with an interview covering riding history, goals, medical history and experience. Next it evaluates physical biodynamics such as muscle elasticity, flexibility and skeletal structure. The shop then uses motion capture, with high-visibility markers and HD video, to measure the body's dynamics on the bike. The shop says this method is much more precise than traditional analog bike fitting.
