Who does the bike fitting at Ciclo Melbourne?

Every bike fit at Ciclo Melbourne is led by an AHPRA registered physiotherapist. Our team combines clinical physiotherapy expertise with real world cycling experience, so the fit is informed by how your body actually moves.

Are Ciclo bike fitters qualified physiotherapists?

Yes. Every fitter at Ciclo is an AHPRA registered physiotherapist. Our lead bike fitter holds a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from Curtin University, and all fits are claimable on private health under code 500.

What is the difference between a Standard and Tailored Bike Fit at Ciclo Melbourne?

The Standard Bike Fit ($275, 1 hour) involves your physiotherapist putting you on the bike, observing how you move, and adjusting your position accordingly. The Tailored Bike Fit ($475, 1 hr 40 min) starts with a full physiotherapy assessment, covering your injury history, movement patterns and physical limitations, before connecting that directly to what he sees on the bike. Both are claimable on private health insurance under code 500.

Shirouz Elango.

Physiotherapist and lead bike fitter, Ironman 70.3 triathlete

Shirouz leads bike fitting at Ciclo and is one of the physiotherapists you may see for your fit. As an Ironman 70.3 triathlete, the advice he gives is not theoretical. He has felt the same niggles, ridden through the same questions, and knows the difference between what you read online and what actually changes a position.

The Standard Bike Fit gets you straight onto the bike, where your fitter watches how you move and adjusts until the position feels right. The Tailored Bike Fit goes deeper first, with a full physiotherapy assessment of your injury history, movement patterns and how your body loads through the pedal stroke, all of which then informs the fit. The result is a position built around your body, not just adjusted to it.

What we look for on the bike.

Cycling physio and bike fitting

Bike position and fit

Saddle height, cleat alignment, handlebar reach and drop, dialled in against what your body actually allows, not just what the geometry chart says.

Knee pain while cycling

One of the most common things we see. Almost always fixable. Usually position, sometimes strength, nearly always a combination of both. See our cycling injury guides.

Lower back pain and saddle discomfort

Frequently a fit problem. Sometimes a flexibility or strength problem. We find the actual cause rather than the easiest explanation.

Triathlon specific assessment

Juggling swim, bike and run loads introduces specific injury patterns. Our lead fitter races 70.3 and understands what that looks like from the inside.

Performance optimisation

Not in pain but not going fast enough? We can assess your position for efficiency and power gains, not just comfort.

Return to riding after injury

Structured, safe return to riding plans after surgery or extended time off the bike, with actual timelines, not just hope.

Our story

Built from a gap nobody had filled.

Ciclo was founded by Alex Drew, who also founded Evolutio Sports Physio in Richmond. Alex watched Melbourne's cycling scene grow and noticed the same gap kept appearing, riders with injuries, pain, or just a vague sense that something was not right on the bike, and nowhere that brought the right expertise together under one roof.

No place where you could get expert advice over a good coffee.

Ciclo was the answer. Australia's first dedicated headquarters for cycling health and performance, in a converted warehouse in Richmond, right alongside Evolutio. Opened in February 2025. 400+ bike fits completed since day one, including our $99 online pre purchase fit.

What makes us different

Three things we will not compromise on.

Physio first, always

Every service at Ciclo is grounded in physiotherapy, not sales targets, not upselling, not guesswork. We understand bodies before we touch bikes, and that changes everything about the quality of the advice.

Cyclists, not just clinicians

Our lead fitter races Ironman 70.3, and the team works with riders every day, from first-time commuters to national-level racers. This is not a clinic that happens to offer bike fitting, it is a cycling studio staffed by physiotherapists.

Honest, direct advice

You will not be rushed, upsold, or told what you want to hear. You will get a proper assessment, an honest answer, and a clear plan, and then it is over to you.

Alex Drew.

Founder, Ciclo Melbourne and Evolutio Sports Physio Richmond

Alex Drew built Evolutio Sports Physio into one of Richmond's most trusted clinics before founding Ciclo. The two sit side by side in the same warehouse, connected by shared values, shared staff, and a shared belief that cyclists deserve better than what most clinics offer.

His vision for Ciclo was simple. Create a proper dedicated space for cycling health, staffed by clinicians who understand riders, without needing to look like a hospital to be taken seriously.
