By now we hope you'll have read the feature on bike fitting and it's this that forms the basis of our present suggestion for today. Getting properly fitted, or even re-fitted, for your bike will get you set up for some serious winter training, secure in the knowledge that you're in the right position to develop the best power.

A bike fitting session can be as little a £35 and many bike shops will refund that if the process leads to a frame or bike sale, but we're hoping that your current steed just needs a bit of tweaking rather than replacing. Of course, once you're in the bike shop there will be all sorts of other temptations for you; perhaps some new tribars to go with that corrected position or a new saddle to relieve those tender parts?
