Ah, we're talking about Bike fitters. Yes, Erik Moen is the best. We'll be seeing him again very soon, now that my tandem is done being used by another stoker.

I would rate both the PTs at Real Rehab, a place that specializes in working with racers/endurance athletes, and Erik Moen (cycling coach/racing background) at Corpore Sano, highly. Either place will get you an excellent fit with no bike-selling agenda as a distraction, as can happen at bike shops.
For bike repair that can't be done by my pretty knowledgeable spouse, we often use Seattle Bike Repair, next door to R&E Cycle.Last edited by salsabike; 08-05-2009 at 08:00 AM.

As KnottedYet said, Smiley at R+E is a nice guy, but he has some very fixed opinions, ie he loaths Brooks saddles, puts lots of emphasis on Speedplay pedals, etc. He can be pretty intense and isn't always a good listener.
I agree with the recommendation of Erik Moen. I was seeing my MD for new orthotics, and from that discussion was referred to Erik for a bike fit. I felt Eric listened well and worked collaboratively with me. He also gave me some exercises for strengthening my core, etc. My insurance paid for my visits and I felt I it was time very well spent.
