Who does the bike fitting at Ciclo Melbourne?

All bike fits at Ciclo Melbourne are led by Shirouz Elango — an AHPRA-registered physiotherapist and Ironman 70.3 triathlete. Shirouz brings both clinical physiotherapy expertise and real-world cycling experience to every fit.

Is Shirouz Elango a qualified physiotherapist?

Yes. Shirouz holds a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from Curtin University and is registered with AHPRA. He is also a competitive Ironman 70.3 triathlete.

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

The Standard Bike Fit ($275, 1 hour) involves Shirouz 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.

Lead Bike Fitter

Shirouz Elango.

Physiotherapist & Lead Bike Fitter · Ironman 70.3 Triathlete

Originally from Singapore, Shirouz is Ciclo's lead physio-led bike fitter — and the person you want looking at your position when something's been off and you can't figure out why. As an Ironman 70.3 triathlete himself, the advice he gives isn't theoretical. He's felt the same niggles, ridden through the same questions, and knows the difference between what you read online and what actually changes things.

His approach — for both the Standard and Tailored Bike Fit — is grounded in the physio assessment first — injury history, movement patterns, how your body actually loads through the pedal stroke — and then he brings all of that onto the bike. The result isn't just a better position. It's a position that's been built around your body, not just adjusted to it.

Cycling physio & bike fitting Melbourne

What Shirouz looks for on the bike.

Bike position & 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 & 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. Shirouz understands what that looks like from the inside — he lives it.

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 wasn't 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, or roll in after a ride for guidance that went beyond the textbook."

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. Over 350 bike fits completed since day one — including our $99 online pre-purchase fit.

What makes us different

Three things we won't 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.

We actually ride

Our lead fitter races Ironman 70.3. Our founder rides. The team rides. This isn't a clinic that happens to offer bike fitting — it's a cycling studio that happens to be staffed by physiotherapists.

Honest, direct advice

You won't be rushed, upsold, or told what you want to hear. You'll get a proper assessment, an honest answer, and a clear plan — and then it's over to you.

Founder & Director

Alex Drew.

Founder, Ciclo Melbourne & 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, run by people who actually love cycling — and don't feel the need to make it look like a hospital to be taken seriously.
