Bike fitter PLI
I work 2 afternoons a week in my local bike shop offering a bike fitting service. Up until now the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy have insured my for bike fitting but tI have just read in Physio Frontline that if it involves "a stand alone bike fitting service involving mechanical adjustments and modifications would not be considered in the scope of physiotherapy" I therefore need to source alternative public liability insurance for this service. I was wondering who other bike fitters use to insure their practice. Many thanks

Hi Gill, thanks for bringing this to my attention! I'm going to look into this, but sounds like a but more clarification from the CSP would be needed first. I'll probably end up contacting them to find out more.
Thanks to everyone who joined today's webinar!
Hopefully you found it useful and have come away with a few ideas to try on your own setup 🚴 Unfortunately, in a masterclass of professionalism, I managed to forget to hit the record button at the start... so the recording will be slightly delayed while I re-record the webinar! The plan is to have it uploaded to the Classroom by tomorrow evening. Our next webinar is a Premium Webinar: 🎯 What Different Foot Problems Usually Mean 📅17th July 🕓4pm BST We'll be covering all things feet, and what common symptoms can tell you about your position, and importantly, what changes are most likely to help. See you there!
🚨 Bike Fit Masterclass - Tomorrow at 4pm BST 🚨
Tomorrow's webinar is: Why Your Feet Go Numb On The Bike If you've ever experienced: - numb toes - hot feet - burning sensations - tingling - or found yourself loosening your shoes halfway through a ride... ...this one's for you. We'll be looking at: - why it isn't always your shoes - why insoles don't always solve the problem - how pressure, stability and fatigue influence what you feel through your feet - and some simple things you can start observing on your next ride. As always, the aim isn't to give generic fixes, but to help you understand what your symptoms might actually be telling you. 🗓 Friday 3rd July 🕓 4pm BST You can join via the Calendar tab at the top of the community. See you there 👊
Balance test on a tri bike?
Any insights from folks on how to translate the road bike balance test to a tri bike position? Or an alternative test for weight distribution?

There is no test for this as you really want a higher amount of pressure on your upper body vs a road bike
Training Plan Suggestions
Just got a power meter and I am trying to find a structure to increase my cycling fitness. My races are grand fondo/century rides. The issue is my work schedule. 3 days on, 4 days off, 4 days on, 3 days off. The hours I work are around 14 hrs per day with commute. How can I structure a cycling schedule with the limited "off" days back to back and little time on my work days?

For basic plans, AI is great! Tell it your work schedule and available training time and let it do its thing! For something more individual, you'll want a human coach to tailor specifics of your lifestyle to your training. Enjoy!
