Bike Fit Experience

An Early Understanding of Body Mechanics

While my first official bike fitting clients and formal introduction to the discipline can be traced back to my late teens and early twenties at the Olympic & Paralympic Training Center (OPTC), my fascination with body mechanics began much earlier. Growing up with my own impairment, I spent countless hours on a bike with an asymmetric body, experimenting with position and setup long before I understood that this curiosity would become my professional path. Those early experiences laid the foundation for an intuitive and deeply personal understanding of how the body interacts with the bike.

From Mechanic to Fit Specialist

At the OPTC, I trained as a resident athlete while working as a mechanic for the USA Para Triathlon team. What began as equipment support quickly evolved into something more. Athletes began seeking my input for fit insights, and I drew on my firsthand experience to help optimize their aerodynamic position, comfort, and performance.

Driven by a genuine fascination with biomechanics and a love of problem solving, I immersed myself in the academic research and existing fit literature to better serve their needs. The athletes I worked with represented a wide spectrum of impairments, including above- and below-the-knee amputations, incomplete spinal cord injuries, and various other neurological and limb differences. Each athlete presented a unique challenge, and our close working relationships allowed for open communication and a deeper understanding of how small changes could yield meaningful results, reflected both in medal counts and training metrics.

Applying Elite Experience to Every Rider

After leaving the OPTC, I spent several years focusing exclusively on my own athletic pursuits. I later returned to bike fitting with the intention of growing professionally and applying this diverse background to riders of all goals and abilities throughout Maine and the greater New England region.

While my early experiences with elite Paralympic athletes represented extreme examples of asymmetry and adaptation, they pushed me to think creatively and holistically about the body’s functionality on the bike. These principles are universally applicable. Every body is unique, and an effective fit requires a deep understanding of the relationship between rider and machine.

Mentorship and Continued Education

Through years of informal guidance and ongoing conversations with Chris Balser, widely known as “The Bike Fit Guru,” a world-renowned bike fitting expert based in the Midwest, I sought out his expertise for formal training as I embarked on this professional path. Collectively, I have spent several months at his practice, shadowing him, engaging in long discussions on fit philosophy, and learning directly from his decades of experience.

Chris is among the highest-level certified instructors with the International Bike Fit Institute, and his mentorship has been instrumental in refining my technical skills and shaping my approach to bike fitting. I have since joined him

"Noah is one of the most talented fitters I've worked with. He instinctively identifies solutions from basic and complex issues better than peers who have been fitting for 25+ years. "
