Reader Submissions: How Does Your Bike Fit You?

Good bike fit not only makes cycling more comfortable, but it may also improve pedaling efficiency, aerodynamics and actually make you faster. But when it comes to bike fit, one size does not fit all. Most cyclists experiment with minor adjustments to the saddle height, fore/aft position, and stem length or height before finding the best fit.

How have you set up your bike for the best fit? Show us a picture of you on your bike and tell us what you changed and why this works for you.
