How to Fit a Road Bicycle Starting with the Foot/Pedal Interface

Overview: Bike Fitting vs. Bike Sizing–The Contact Points

This article is focused on road bike fitting and not bike sizing. Often these two descriptions become intertwined but they are completely different.  With that said, fitting a road bicycle works best when you start with the right size bike or at a minimum, a bicycle that is close enough to your right size.

Sizing a road bicycle is not as complicated as you may have been led to believe, in part due to the reality that a good bike fit actually has little to do with the bicycle per se. Fitting a road bicycle comes down to the contact points (connection points) between the cyclist and their bicycle. These five connection points are the right and left foot, the pelvis, and right and left hands. So even if your bike is not the correct “size,” as long as you get the connection points in the ideal place, you can still achieve a good and comfortable bike fit.

A proper bike fit has more to do with the saddle, handlebars, brake levers and hoods, stem and, most importantly, shoes, cleats, and pedals.

gEDA

Jovan Stosic March 30, 2017

The term gEDA refers to two things:

  1. A set of software applications (CAD tools) used for electronic design released under the GPL. As such, gEDA is an ECAD (electronic CAD) or EDA (electronic design automation) application suite. gEDA is mostly oriented towards printed circuit board design (as opposed to integrated circuit design). The gEDA applications are often referred to collectively as “the gEDA Suite”.
  2. The collaboration of free software/open-source developers who work to develop and maintain the gEDA toolkit. The developers communicate via gEDA mailing lists, and have participated in the annual “Google Summer of Code” event as a single project. This collaboration is often referred to as “the gEDA Project”.

The word “gEDA” is a conjunction of “GPL” and “EDA”. The names of some of the individual tools in the gEDA Suite are prefixed with the letter “g” to emphasize that they are released under the GNU General Public License.

GPL EDA — Electronics design software (schematic editor) — Ubuntu Apps Directory

Jovan Stosic March 30, 2017

The gEDA project has produced and continues working on a full GPL’d suite and toolkit of Electronic Design Automation tools. These tools are used for electrical circuit design, schematic capture, simulation, prototyping, and production. Currently, the gEDA project offers a mature suite of free software applications for electronics design, including schematic capture, attribute management, bill of materials (BOM) generation, netlisting into over 20 netlist formats, analog and digital simulation, and printed circuit board (PCB) layout.

This package contains gschem, the schematic editor.
