Show Notes

Leveraging Computer Vision & AI via your Mobile Phone!

The technology behind MyVeloFit has been designed to identify the same body segments and joint angles that professional bike fitters use to evaluate your position on the bike. MyVeloFit uses those measurements to first assess your mobility off the bike, then analyse your position on the bike. Paired with the expert knowledge on bike fitting built into the system, the result is a custom bike fit specific to each rider.

jesse Jarjour is MyVeloFit's CEO and Co-Founder. Jesse's love for bike fit started when he bought his first road bike which turned out to be two sizes too big. He fell for cycling but was plagued by chronic injuries due to the poor positioning. Once he finally got a fit and set up the bike somewhat functionally, he was amazed by what changes could be made to improve his comfort and enjoyment of the sport. As Jesse's affinity for cycling grew, he decided on a career change from economics to bikes. Recalling how much bike fit improved his cycling experience, Jesse devoted himself to learning everything he could about achieving the optimum fit. Fast forward almost 15 years later and Jesse now holds Level 2 certification from the International Bike Fit Institute as well as fit certifications from Retul and Trek.
