Why Calpe

There's a large, well-established community of English-speaking riders along the coast between Denia and Benidorm, and Calpe sits about midway through it. Getting a proper fit has meant a long drive north, working through a language barrier, or both.

Andy is the only native English-speaking bike fitter working on this stretch of coast. That matters more than it first sounds. Most of a fit is a conversation: you describe what you feel, and Andy works out what's causing it. English is the common language of the cycling community here, and for plenty of riders it's their second one, so it helps that it's the fitter's first. He can ask the same question three different ways until the answer is precise. A fitter working in his own second language, or a translation app, can't.

The riding here doesn't help a marginal position either. Long climbs inland, descents that keep you on the drops for twenty minutes, and enough winter mileage that a position that's merely tolerable on an eight-minute climb becomes the thing you think about every ride.

What a fit looks like

Exactly what happens at the Valencia studio. The session opens with 20 to 30 minutes of conversation about your riding history, what hurts (if anything), your goals, and what previous fits did and didn't solve.

01 Off the bike

A full biomechanical assessment, looking at flexibility, posture, alignment, leg length, foot structure, and how your body actually moves. This usually tells us more about what's happening on the bike than anything we measure once you're riding.

02 On the bike

Motion capture, pressure mapping and pedalling analysis. We make a change, watch how your body responds, and continue to adjust until the position works for the body you walked in with.

03 The summary

We go through what changed, why, what to watch for over the next few weeks, and when it makes sense to come back. You leave with a digital record through Andy's software, AIDOS, that you can refer back to once you're home.

What travels south

All of it. Motion capture, pressure mapping, the assessment tools and the measurement kit come down from Valencia for each block.

One exception: custom insoles. Moulding and finishing a pair properly takes longer than a residency day allows, so that work stays at the studio. If your fit points towards custom insoles, Andy will say so and you can arrange it separately.

Full fit

€300

2.5 hours · One bike.

The standard fit for most cyclists: road, gravel or MTB. Includes full biomechanical assessment, on-bike analysis and written summary.

Two-bike fit

€420

3.5 hours · Two bikes, one session.

For riders using multiple bikes: road and TT, road and gravel, or similar combinations. The same assessment applied across both bikes, ensuring the positions work together.

TT / triathlon fit

€360

3 hours · Time-trial or triathlon.

Designed specifically for time-trial and triathlon setups. Positions are built around aerodynamics, power transfer and sustainability under effort.

Who this is for

Riders living along the coast between Denia and Benidorm, and in the valleys behind it:

  • club and group riders from Denia, Jávea, Moraira, Benissa, Calpe and Altea
  • riders dealing with pain or a problem that previous fits haven't solved
  • triathletes and time triallists setting up an aero position they can actually hold
  • anyone who'd rather talk a fit through in English than work through it in translation
  • and occasionally, riders over on a training camp who've picked something up

Andy does his best work on road, TT and triathlon setups, particularly where the same problem keeps returning after one or two previous fits.

Questions
Where exactly are the fits held?

At Biking Luca, Av. Diputación 66, 03710 Calp, Alicante. Arrival details are sent with your booking confirmation.

I'm not in Calpe. How far is it?

Calpe sits about midway along the coast between Denia and Benidorm. Driving time to Biking Luca is roughly 13 minutes from Benissa, 15 from Altea, 22 from Benidorm, 25 from Moraira, 32 from Denia and 36 from Jávea. If you're coming from the Jalón valley or further inland, it's a straight run down.

Is the fit in English?

Yes. Andy is a native English speaker, so the assessment, the explanation of what changed and the written record afterwards are all in English.

Is it the same fit as the Valencia studio?

Yes, down to the equipment and the written record afterwards. The only difference is the room it happens in.

Is there anything you can't do in Calpe?

Custom insoles. Moulding and finishing a pair takes longer than a residency day allows, so that work stays at the Valencia studio.

I'm here on a training camp with a hire bike. Is a fit still worth it?

Yes, though what you get out of it is slightly different. We can set the hire bike up properly for the week you're here, and the assessment itself travels home with you: you'll know what your own bike should be doing, and you'll have the numbers to check it against.

What should I bring?

Your bike, your shoes, and the kit you actually ride in. If you have multiple saddles or pedal systems, bring the ones you use most often. If you've bought something new and haven't ridden it yet, bring that too, so we can check whether it's right for you before you commit to it.

What should I wear?

Bib shorts and a close-fitting top, the same kit you'd ride in. We need to see how your body sits on the bike, not a silhouette.

Can I ride afterwards?

You can, and a short easy spin is a good way to let the position settle. Don't book your hardest day of the trip for the afternoon of the fit, and give the change a few rides before you judge it.

What if the dates are full?

There are only six appointments in each block, so this happens. Email andy@andy-brooke.com and you'll go on the list for the next dates, or Andy will offer you a slot at the Valencia studio.

What if the fit doesn't solve the problem?

Give it a proper adaptation window, a few weeks of real riding. If something still isn't right after that, come back to a Calpe block or the Valencia studio any time within three months and Andy will put it right. No extra charge.

Book a fit in Calpe
