Winning Position

Enjoy your riding. Feel better on the bike.

With life getting busier and the cost of just about everything going up, it's worth making the most of the time we get to spend doing the things we love.

Whether you're riding for fitness, training for an event, commuting, exploring the local trails or simply enjoying time on two wheels, feeling comfortable on your bike can make a real difference.

At Winning Position, I offer personalised bike fitting and massage to help you get more out of your riding and support your body's needs along the way.

You don't need to be racing or training for an event to benefit. Sometimes, it's simply about making your regular rides feel better.

If you've been thinking about a bike fit or booking a massage, I'd love to help.

The weather is warming up and triathlon season has arrived!

My latest article- conversations from the bike fit studio is up!

Every Cyclist Has a Story - Winning Position Every Cyclist Has a Story One of the things I love most about my work is that people rarely arrive at my studio with just a bike problem. They come in because their knee hurts, their hands are numb, their back is complaining, or they want to get more comfortable and powerful on

🚴‍♀️ **Do your cycling shoes give your feet enough room?**

We spend a lot of time thinking about bikes, pedals, saddles and position… but what about the shoes our feet are sitting in for hours at a time?

As an exercise physiologist and bike fitter, I’m increasingly interested in how we can maintain **natural foot function while cycling**.

Our toes are designed to spread, move and help us balance and adapt. Yet many traditional cycling shoes—particularly road shoes—are quite narrow through the toe box.

And “wide” doesn’t always mean wide where it matters.

For me, a good cycling shoe should provide:

👣 **Space around the toes** so they aren't squeezed together
🦶 **Enough room for the foot to spread and swell** during longer rides
🔒 **A secure heel** so the foot isn't moving around inside the shoe
⚡ **Enough stiffness and stability** to transfer power effectively

I’m certainly not suggesting we need to cycle in barefoot shoes! Cycling has different demands, and we still need a secure connection to the pedal.

But perhaps we can have **both: stability AND foot freedom.**

Over the years, I’ve tried a number of cycling shoes and found that some brands are doing a much better job of accommodating the natural shape of the foot.

In my latest article, I take a look at some of the options I’ve found interesting, including **Lake, Bont, Leviathan and fi’zi:k Wide**.

If your toes feel squashed after a few hours on the bike, it might be worth looking at your shoes—not just your bike fit.

👣 **Your feet are part of the system too.**

👣 Could your cycling shoes be holding your feet back? 🚴‍♀️

We spend hours thinking about bike fit, saddle height, cleat position and power…
But what about the part of your body that connects you to the bike?
Your feet.

As an Exercise Physiologist, I’ve become increasingly passionate about natural foot health and giving our feet the freedom to move, feel and strengthen.

And when you’re cycling, your feet are locked into a shoe and connected to the pedal — repeating the same movement thousands of times.

So I think it’s worth asking:
👉 Is there enough room for your toes?
👉 Is your foot stable inside the shoe?
👉 Is your cleat positioned well?
👉 Are you doing anything off the bike to strengthen and mobilise your feet?
Before I ride, I like to spend a few minutes waking up my feet — moving my toes, mobilising and strengthening them.
Because sometimes improving your cycling isn’t just about changing something on the bike…
It starts with looking at your feet. 👣
