What is Posivelo

Geoff Farnsworth

Positional bike POSI + VELO is the name given to the variety of bike fit services and supply we provide. 


Geoff Farnsworth is a native Montrealer and has a lifelong experience as a cyclist. Having raced competitively as a mountain biker, been  a race team manager and partner in a bike shop,  he turned his interests toward long distance bike camping and one-day fondos. More recently he is a multiple Race Across America ( RAAM ) participant. 

He has worked with many Cycling Canada and Team Quebec athletes, specifically for aero optimization. ​Geoff is also the Canadian representative for the SecretSaddle Club saddles and Gebiomized technology. 

SecretSaddle Club

 Welcome to a new world of cycling saddles! Developed by bike fitters, made for bike fitters. Based on more than 15 years of experience in building custom cycling saddles, more than 50,000 analyses of Gebiomized saddle pressure mappings with thousands and thousands cds of cyclists and backed with valuable input from some of the worlds finest and most famous bike fitters, we proudly present the very first line of gebioMized saddles. 

Gebiomized Canada

I am just beginning my journey with new tooling from Gebiomized pressure mapping and video analysis software and hardware but it is a game changer.  No longer is there a need to  guess how a client’s body responds to a fit, therefore, the client and bike fitter have more confidence and more unbiased data on the changes  made.

Tools and Technology

Posivelo employ the Gebiomized saddle and foot  pressure mapping systems.  Developed by Daniel Schade, as part of his Master thesis at U of Munster in Germany, this system allows for quick, reliable analysis of the rider’s saddle and foot pressure distribution.

Both systems permit a type of evidence based view through  the point of contact to view in unbiased terms how the rider is interacting with the point of contact.  Allied to the rest of the rest of the fit process, this evidence can help direct a fit towards the changes that need to happen to achieve your goal.

We  have been using Retul for the last 7 years and Geoff is one of a handful of Master Certified practioners in Canada. 

 The static fit process can't tell the fitter what’s happening dynamically when the rider is moving and applying load to the pedal.  Retul provides the tool that allows and helps us get a better understanding of bike position in the real world and can often spot details and connections that the eye does not.    Another Retul product is the adjustable  'MUVE'  fit bike which permits  exploration of  saddle position, trial of  a variety of crank lengths, handle bar position.  The Muve is especially used in cases of new bike selection, exploration of aero position and  in cases where the front end of the bike is integrated in the bike design.

Retul offers quick, reliable data to be gathered; not only about the rider but also the bike. The 'ZIN' function uses the same 3D motion capture technology that allows the riders dynamic joint angle data to be collected to assure the bike itself. Every fit we offer over 1.5 hours  leaves with a Retul report on both themselves and the bike. 

Data alone means practically nothing by itself and requires an experienced technician to analyze and interpret the data and advise the fit process.

FITTING SERVICES

Comfort is the goal of proper bike fit whether one is a new rider or an experienced racer. A properly fit bike should be comfortable while providing maximum efficiency, power and safety. A bicycle must be adjusted to meet the specific needs of an individual rider, rather than the rider adjusting to accommodate the bicycle.

I need to get on that new position stat! Now that I've experienced a more comfortable position I can't go back to the old position! - Lionel Sanders 

Scott Martin

Lionel Sanders

Lionel Sanders

 I have to tell you that I have never felt so comfortable on the bike, it was like the bike was an extension of my body. Not once did I feel any road fatigue and my RPE for given power outputs felt low so I have to believe efficiency has increased.  Thanks again for everything, I can't believe I waited so long to get a proper fit done."                Scott Martin, Masters Road Racer
