    I've had several fittings with different fitters. None have marked my bike. They do, however, write down all the measurements. One emailed me with all the details; the other I can call.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    it also could be something as simple as needing to strengthen your quads and working on your pedal stroke. A simple isometric quad exercise - stand with your feet shoulder length apart, lift one foot of the ground, bending the knee 90 degrees. keep other foot flat on the ground, do gentle knee bends - not deep for 3 minutes, switch legs and repeat.

    for balance touch the wall with 1 finger - do not lean on the wall just use it for balance. It took me awhile to work up to 3 minutes per leg but it really helped my knees - this is an exercise I got from a PT and an ortho is not going to give you much advice and is just going to cost money.
