Booking
By appointment

Hanau sits east of Frankfurt, where the Rhein-Main area gives way to the Kinzig valley. Many riders from here come to me in Bensheim because they prefer a thorough session to a quick measurement. You work directly with me, Lloyd Thomas.

Around Hanau many riders mix flat riding in the valley with climbs towards the Spessart. That mix asks for a position that rolls calmly on the flat and does not fall apart under load on the climb.

Why the trip is worth it

A precise fit saves the cycle of guesswork and single changes. If pain slows you down on longer rides, I look for the cause rather than the next quick swap of parts.

The session after the trip from Hanau

Hanau sits east of Frankfurt, where the Rhein-Main area gives way to the Kinzig valley and the first foothills of the Spessart begin. With about an hour’s drive, most riders coming from here spend many hours in the saddle at a time and want a position that still holds late into a long day. After the movement screen, I check how you sit in the flat valley and how that changes once the climbs toward the Spessart start. I adjust saddle, cleats and cockpit so your neck, hands and sit bones stay calm even after several hours, and work through the changes in a clear order. You leave with a fit report and the final measurements, so the drive from Hanau is genuinely worth it. The full process is at Bike Fitting in Bensheim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the trip from Hanau worth it?

For many riders, yes. A thorough fit works over many rides. If a clean process matters more to you than the fastest option, the trip is well spent.

I ride towards the Spessart with a lot of climbing. Does that fit in?

Yes. The climbs towards the Spessart quickly show whether the position stays stable under load. That is exactly what I look at.

I took my gravel bike to Lloyd for a bike fitting and I'm completely satisfied. The bike fitting is absolutely worth every penny, and I can highly recommend it to everyone, whether you're a hobby cyclist or a pro. Lloyd takes an incredible amount of time, explains each step clearly, and even beginners can understand everything. With great patience, the bike is optimally adjusted step by step. I especially appreciated that he doesn't try to sell you unnecessary new components. Instead, he first gets the most out of the existing parts and only recommends new ones when they are truly necessary and beneficial. Not only is the bike analyzed, but also the rider. Mobility, posture, and any limitations are taken into account. He also provides easy-to-implement exercises that can be easily integrated into everyday life and contribute to a better riding position in the long run. At the end, you receive all the measurement data as well as comprehensive documentation with recommendations for further exercises, useful accessories, and potential optimizations. The atmosphere throughout the entire appointment was also very pleasant, relaxed, and professional. Anyone considering a bike fitting is definitely in the right place at Lloyd. Highly recommended!

The very next day I did an FTP test and, without changing a single thing, my FTP jumped by almost 10% β€” purely thanks to the improved position.

If you're struggling with cycling comfort or want to boost your performance, I can't recommend a session with Lloyd enough. I'm currently preparing for two ultra-distance events in 2026, and I wasn't happy with the results of a previous bike fitting. That setup worked fine for shorter rides, but after about six hours in the saddle the problems started: numb feet, mild pain in my left leg, and some lower back discomfort. Because Lloyd's studio is close to the Rhine-Main area, and thanks to his excellent Google reviews and recommendations in various triathlon and cycling forums, I decided to book a session with him. Even though it's not exactly cheap, it was absolutely worth every cent. Lloyd is genuinely friendly and easygoing. We started with a conversation about my goals and issues, then a short bike session and a quick physical assessment β€” flexibility, foot position and so on. From there he methodically adjusted the bike setup and cleat position until we were both happy. After my first long ride with the new setup my initial impression was completely confirmed: the position feels perfect β€” no more aches, numbness or tension anywhere. And the very next day I did an FTP test and, without changing a single thing, my FTP jumped by almost 10%, purely thanks to the improved position. Thank you Lloyd, we'll definitely meet again!

Due to a leg-length difference we also fitted my shoes and the pain in my knee is gone since then. With the saddle pressure analysis I have no problems with long rides anymore.

I had a very special bike fitting experience with Lloyd. After an evaluation of my problems (knee, back, numb hands/toes) and my goals we did a video analysis to adjust all parameters at my bike. But Lloyd also put a strong focus on my specific body characteristics (flexibility, strength etc.) and defined a personal pre-ride routine for me. Due to a length difference in one leg we also fitted my shoes and the pain in my knee is gone since then! :) With the additional pressure analysis of my saddle, we identified an issue with my contact to the saddle. It ended up in getting a new saddle and not having any problems with long rides anymore. Overall a perfect fitting experience, especially as I was able to return to do some fine tuning after a few rides. Will be back with my next bike for sure - highly recommended!
