Serving Northcote cyclists
Bike Fitting for Northcote Cyclists
Northcote has a solid cycling community and easy access to the Merri Creek Trail, Darebin Parklands and the inner north's commuter routes. If you are riding regularly, it is worth getting your position properly sorted rather than just adapting to something that is not quite right. We are in Richmond, just south of you and only 12 minutes away. Physio led bike fits from $275, claimable on private health.

What we offer
Two ways to get properly fitted
Both sessions are run by an AHPRA registered physiotherapist and claimable on most private health policies. Most Northcote 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
We are in a dedicated fitting studio in a Richmond warehouse. Set up specifically for bike fitting, with a turbo trainer, video capture, calibrated measurement tools, and a separate treatment room for Tailored Fit clients who need a proper physio assessment first.
We share the building with Evolutio Sports Physio. If your fit turns up something that needs ongoing treatment, the referral is immediate. Same hallway, not a different clinic across town.
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.
For Northcote cyclists making the trip in, that means you are getting something genuinely clinical. We explain everything we are doing and why, and we do not make changes just for the sake of it.
Why Ciclo
What is different about us
Physio led, not product led
Every session is run by an AHPRA registered physiotherapist who understands how the body moves. The bike fit follows from that, not the other way around.
Evidence based throughout
Our recommendations come from clinical assessment and physio research. We are not working off industry rules of thumb or someone else's generic protocol.
No commissions, no agenda
We do not sell bikes or earn anything from equipment referrals. If we recommend something, it is because it makes sense for you, full stop.
Written summary, every time
You will get a full written summary within 24 hours of your session, and a call at 7 to 10 days to check in. Tailored Fit clients also receive a detailed PDF report.
