Serving Melbourne CBD cyclists
Bike Fitting for Melbourne CBD Cyclists
Whether you are commuting across the Yarra every day or doing weekend rides out of the city, getting your position sorted makes a real difference. We see a lot of CBD cyclists and the issues are pretty consistent. Saddle too low, reach too long, cleats that have never been set up properly. We are in Richmond, just east of the city and only 10 minutes away. Physio led bike fits from $275, claimable on private health.

More than 24 hours notice: no charge to cancel or reschedule. Less than 24 hours: 100% of the fee is charged. Same-day reschedule: no fee if you move to another time that same day, subject to availability.
What we offer
Two ways to get properly fitted
Both sessions are run by AHPRA registered physiotherapists and claimable on most private health policies. CBD cyclists come in all shapes — daily commuters across the Yarra, weekend road riders, people training for their first triathlon. Whatever your riding looks like, the same principle applies: a proper position makes it better. Most Melbourne CBD cyclists can get here and back in half a day, and the difference on the bike is noticeable from ride one.
A thorough physio led look at how you sit on your bike. Saddle height, cleat position, handlebar reach and everything in between. Good for road cyclists, commuters and gravel riders who want to sort their position without a full physio workup.
Starts with a proper physiotherapy assessment before you get on the bike. Strength, flexibility, posture, movement. We figure out what is going on in your body and let that inform the fit. Includes a written report and exercise program sent to you afterwards.
Thinking about buying a new bike and not sure on sizing? We will assess what you are currently riding and give you clear, practical advice on what to look for before you spend a lot of money.
Precise measurement at every stage
Our Richmond warehouse studio
Every adjustment gets documented
A real studio, not a bike shop corner
Ten minutes from Flinders Street on tram 70 or 78, the Ciclo studio is a dedicated fitting space in a Richmond warehouse. Turbo trainer, video analysis system, calibrated measurement tools, and a separate physiotherapy treatment room for Tailored Fit clients.
Evolutio Sports Physio share the building. CBD cyclists who discover a physical issue during the fit — or want ongoing sports physio — get referred directly without leaving the complex.
Who you will meet
Your practitioner
Shirouz ElangoYou are seeing a registered physiotherapist
Every fit at Ciclo is done by an AHPRA registered physiotherapist. Not a bike tech, not a sports scientist. A physiotherapist. That matters because it changes how we think about what we are doing.
We understand injury patterns and how the body compensates. When we look at how you sit on your bike, we are connecting what we see to what is going on physically, not just moving parts until the angles look right on paper.
CBD cyclists who commute by bike often have positions that developed organically rather than being set up properly. The fit usually surfaces two or three things that have been contributing to discomfort they have just been accepting.
Why Ciclo
Why CBD cyclists make the trip to Richmond
A physiotherapist, not a mechanic
Your fit is run by an AHPRA registered physiotherapist. We assess how your body works first. The bike position comes after — not the other way around.
Evidence over intuition
Every adjustment is driven by clinical assessment and physiotherapy research. We explain the reason for each change in plain terms.
No products, no commissions
We are not a retailer. We do not earn from anything we recommend. If we suggest a stem length or saddle width it is because the assessment says you need it.
Written summary included
Full written documentation within 24 hours. A call at 7 to 10 days. Tailored Fit clients receive a PDF report with a personalised exercise program.
