This week I have a fascinating conversation for you with Tyler Benner, founder of Strong Feet Athletics, who have just brought to market, what many are calling, a true barefoot cycling shoe.

As someone who has struggled with cycling shoe fit for years, I couldn't wait to get chatting to Tyler and quiz him on the story behind this shoe which goes boldly against all the mainstream shoe designs we have been so used to.

Cycling shoe design is changing. Even the big players like Specialized and Fizik are widening their toe-box shapes.

So what's going on here?

What's bubbling in the background which is forcing this redirection?

If you've ever suffered with uncomfortable feet when cycling, or just want to be able ride faster and longer with less effort... you're going to want to listen to this!

⁠The 5 Most Costly Mistakes Cyclists Make When Choosing A New High-End Bike

Do you know how to dismantle a bike?

Do you understand which parts can be adjusted adjusted on your modern road bike , and how this can improve you comfort and performance?

As bike fitters we see every side of the equation...

From the consumers perspective, from the point of view of manufacturers and bike brands and of course as practitioners who are here to help navigate the choices you have when it comes to buying a new bike.

Sadly the ease of positional adjustability of modern bikes has been declining year on year + our modern, flat packed, convenience retail has reshaped the way we choose to buy bikes for good, but could there be a better way?

The team discuss what consumers should be aware of when on the hunt for a new bike, how to dismantle the complexity bias and why bike fitting should be more relevant in our current culture than ever before.

The inconvenient truth?

Knowledge is power.
