Timothy L. Coach Brinton took the time to ensure my bike was properly fit, having get on and off a few times to measure the accuracy of the adjustments. After my first fitting, I was surprised how even small adjustments improved my comfort when riding. This is easily the most inexpensive purchase to significantly improve your comfort and performance.

Sara C. I did a very expensive fitting at Bike Effect a year ago but Coach Brinton’s fitting was much better. I was just more comfortable on the bike after his fitting. He pointed out a lot of little mistakes they had made. Not only did I like his bike fitting better, I had a completely different understanding of what a bike should feel like.

Aaron S. I have been riding for a long time and for the past few years I did not feel 100% comfortable on my bike. I’m getting older and I didn’t want to risk an injury that will keep me off my bike. I contacted Coach Brinton and went in for a bike fit. It ended being a extremely informative fitting and consulting session. Coach Brinton took time to listen and explain every setting, adjustment and the pros and cons. 30 minutes into the session I immediately felt a difference on the bike trainer. I immediately signed up for a follow up session to work on my pedaling technique. I highly recommend using Coach Brinton!!!!

Elton S. I used Cycling Coach Brinton to get me fitted on my bike, and he did a great job. I was riding my bike for a while and I did not feel 100% comfortable on my bike during my long rides. Therefore, I reached out to David to evaluate my current situation.

I found Cycling Coach Brinton website and I decided to give it a shot. David used his experienced background to fit me perfectly. After two hours and a few changes on my bike here and there, I felt very comfortable on my bike. Once the fit was over I went for a small ride and I liked my new bike fit. I felt immediately better, and I had a better feel for the bike.

Gary N. Coach Brinton is the best! He fit my last two bikes and as I’ve said to others, I won’t ride without first being fit by David. I’ve been riding less than 10 years but I’ve come to appreciate how he makes me feel on my bike. If you experience any discomfort during your ride, you owe it to yourself to see Coach Brinton.

Michael S. I have been riding bikes for a long time (mostly mountain biking and commuting), and recently got into road biking. I bought my bike second-hand and watched some YouTube videos to try to fit my bike by myself, but I was not able to achieve a fit that felt good: I did not feel like my sit bones were properly supported by the saddle (I felt very unstable, and like I was always falling forward) and I regularly had wrist pain and my pinkies would go numb on long rides (even when I took regular breaks and shook my hands out throughout the ride).

Before the bike fit, I was enjoying cycling less because it left me in discomfort. However, after the bike fit, I am a lot more excited for cycling because it is so much more comfortable than before, and I feel a lot more stable. I initially thought that I could make the proper adjustments by watching some YouTube videos, but after getting a professional bike fit, I think it is definitely worth paying a professional to help, and I would highly recommend a bike fit with Coach Brinton (especially a comprehensive fit, so that the cleats are also adjusted) to anyone who recently bought a new bike.

Josh M. Best Bike Fitter out there! David was super helpful in every way possible. He walked me through what he was changing and how it affected my body and taught me how to pedal on the bike properly! I learned so much and feel 1000% more comfortable on my bike due to a great bike fit.

Chayuth S. I had an incredible bike fitting experience with Coach David. He not only helped me find the perfect fit for my bike, but also taught me valuable riding techniques and basic bike maintenance. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to optimize their comfort while riding.

Larry Y. Coach David Brinton is not just an excellent bike fitter but also an extraordinary coach with impeccable skillset and knowledge in cycling. I started cycling 3 months ago and only after 5 sessions, I am already able to ride with speed and confidence, and attend group rides such as Montrose rides and Rapha rides. As a first time cyclist, my form, skill and performance have all improved within such a short period of time due to his patience, professionalism and intense training. I highly recommend Coach Brinton for his immense passion and unmatched expertise in cycling.

Jim C. Coach Brinton is not only a great resource for an excellent bike fit, but an extremely experienced coach to help you improve all aspects of your riding experience. You won’t go wrong if you tap into his fountain of knowledge with training sessions after your fit.

Michael B. After an 8-year hiatus from riding a triathlon bike I wanted to make sure I found a fitter that would maximize my speed, safety and comfort on my new bike. I feel very fortunate in having a fitting from Coach Brinton. He not only gave me a fitting, but also explained every aspect of why he made the adjustments and suggestions throughout the process. As an example, he made a small but significant modification to my bar taping that I never would’ve come up with on my own or had never heard or seen before. This attention to detail and personalization is why I will return to him to have my road bike adjusted soon and hope to, at some point, work with him as a coach and not just a fitter.

Adrian D. Fantastic experience getting fitted by coach David for both my gravel and mountain bikes as well as two pairs of shoes. He is highly skilled and very efficient at what he does. He is very personable and eager to share his vast knowledge of cycling. He provided me with a written summary of all my measurements and instructed me on how to make further adjustments if I ever needed them. I was eager to ride with the new settings the following day.  I noticed immediate improvement in my power output due to more efficient leg muscle recruitment and improved position on bike. Rode the entire day with a huge smile on my face.

Benjamin K. I was fitted by Coach Brinton last Thursday and could not be more impressed and grateful for the experience. Not only is he immensely knowledgeable when it comes to the bicycle fitting process/cycling in general, but he’s also extremely kind and just a great human being to be around. I went for my first ride since the fitting yesterday and felt an immediate difference in power output, comfort, and smoothness in my ride. I cannot recommend Coach Brinton enough. If you’re serious about cycling, weather it’s road, gravel, track, or mountain, do yourself a favor and pay Coach Britton a visit. Thanks again David!

Peter K. I was skeptical whether someone at a beginner skill level would benefit from a professional bike fit and man was I wrong. Cycling Coach Brinton was immediately able to pinpoint the cause of my discomfort and showed me how my previous fit wasn’t allowing my legs to work efficiently. The difference after the fit was night and day, especially in handling and power. More importantly I feel confident on my bike and haven’t experienced lower back discomfort since. Really happy I found Coach Brinton, If you’re just starting out and plan to take cycling seriously I’d recommend a bike fit from Coach Brinton.

R J. Came for the fit, stayed for the coaching. After several months grazing YouTube for every cycling video I could find, I decided I needed a proper bike fit before serious Triathlon training. My goals were simple: a proper fit, guidance on form, and suggestions for next steps. All of the these I received and then some. Coach Dave Brinton not only carefully inquired about details relevant to my goals, he anticipated follow up questions, was observant during the entire fit, showed care and interest when providing specific adjustments and offered clear instructions to improve my experience. Coach Brinton doesn’t outsource analysis to technology, like a Retul system, instead he applies more than 30 years of professional coaching and riding experience plus countless expert fits to offer a “fitting” reminiscent of fine suit tailoring. That fit translated into improvements I could (a) see in numbers (from 12.3 to 15.1 mi/h faster – which he anticipated before I did it) and (b) feel on the road. Also, his enthusiasm for cycling comes across naturally – he loves what he does, cares about what I’m thinking and feeling, and provides clarity about and what to do on and with a bike. It wasn’t just the fit though, the ride instruction may have provided even more results than the fit, because since the instruction I’ve been able to convert my presence on my bike into better handing, more aware turning, and increased sensitivity to what works and how it should work. If you need a fit or a coach to take your cycling to the next level, I fully recommended booking sessions with Coach Dave – you’ll leave not just feeling better on your bike, but understanding why you’re feeling better and how you can control yourself and your bike in a way that makes riding not just faster or more efficient but more fun.

Daniel N. Started with a fitting (best fitting I’ve had so far!!!) and transitioned into several groups of training. His pedal mechanics have me getting much stronger in the right ways, and even tho I don’t have the time to put down the miles my training partners do I’m not only keeping up but excelling in some areas. Really patient and well rounded coaching. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Chris M. I was looking for a cycling coach to take my cycling up to the next level and was lucky enough to find Coach Brinton. I’ve been amazed to see how many small and big areas of improvement about my fitting, cycling technique and riding skills Coach Brinton has been able to identify in a short amount of time, and even more amazed at how much better I feel on the bike from both a comfort and performance standpoint after addressing those areas.

It’s great to get instruction from someone with such a wide breath of knowledge about the sport – from body mechanics to racing strategy.

I highly recommend Coach Brinton if you’re looking to step up your game with top tier cycling coaching or even if you just need an improved bike fit.

Kevin W. Coach Brinton really took the time to explain everything he was doing while going through my bike fit. He even had me work on my bike with him so I would know how to make tweaks in the future. After the fitting I decided to meet with him for some training and what a great experience that was. Lots of bike handling work, rider safety, and out of the saddle climbing. I cannot say enough about my experience and will continue to be coached by him for future events.

Steve G. I have a new(er) bike and even though I had gone through a quick fitting at the store I knew something needed to be tweaked. I found Coach Britton on a google search but also got a referral confirmation.

My main goal for the fitting was a better fit and better ride so I can accomplish my overall goals of longer rides and higher climbs. The fitting exceeded my expectations. He confirmed that changes were necessary just not what I thought were needed and in far greater detail.

The bike is far better for my body and a far better ride. I also have a greater understanding of the bike and myself as a rider. Plus he gave me a plan for upgrades in order of importance and budget. And I have a better plan for obtaining my own goals and booked 2 skill sessions for the summer.

David S. I began working with David last March in order to prepare for a charity endurance ride. I had no experience with a modern rode bike and really hadn’t ridden much at all since childhood. Coach Brinton got me up to speed fast. In just three months time I was agile and confident on the bike. I rode 3 centuries in 3 days and yeah, it was hard but I never would have finished as strong as I did without David’s training methods. I should mention that he’s also a bike fitting master. I had a store fitting done when I purchased the bike but after a few weeks was experiencing some knee pain. Once I started with Coach Brinton he radically altered my positioning which improved the situation immensely. It you’re thinking about training with a bike coach this is your guy.

Gaurav M. I have been working with Cycling Coach David Brinton for many years. I came to David at a point when I was riding with injuries and a lot of pain. I worked with David on my pedaling technique and bike fitting, and over time my pain went away. Once pain free I decided to race. It was unbelievable how much the technical skills that David and I had worked on like pedaling, jumping, sliding, manuals and bunny hops improved my riding. I am looking forward to the winter program where we will continue to work on technical skills. What I appreciate most is that when I need answers or if I want to tweak my routine, Cycling Coach Brinton is never more than a phone call away and always accessible.

David J. — “I had been having some knee issues which the fitting totally addressed and I’m feeling much better on my weekly 50+ mi rides up into the San Gabriels.”

Michael R. — “Great experience with the service from scheduling the appointment the the quality of the service. Took 2 bikes to him to have fitting done. Didn’t leave a review until I got a chance to ride the bikes and see how the changes felt. No more numb hands or sore back. Less effort needed on climbs. Overall, it was a huge improvement. Thank you!”

Indrek M. After many years of knee and ankle pain I finally came to my senses and had my new bike properly fitted by Coach Brinton. Worth the investment 100%! My legs feel stronger and no knee or ankle pain since I got my Canyon All Road fitted. He has a really nice fitting setup and also helped me with great tips on my riding form. I can already see measurable difference in just a few weeks. I really think it’s a must to fit your bike to prevent injury and become stronger rider. Thank you Coach and happy riding everyone!

Aubrey S. Coach Brinton helped my fiancé tremendously! I got him a bike fit for his birthday since he has been riding more and was complaining about discomfort and pain on longer rides. Coach Brinton was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and immediately diagnosed some major problems with his bike set up before he even got on the bike! After the fit, he has said how much more comfortable he is on the bike, and it’s already making a huge difference in his workouts. Highly recommend Coach Brinton for a bike fitting if you are in the area and looking for someone! Also, makes a fantastic birthday gift!

Victoria C. I came to see Coach Brinton after suffering injury on the bike from an ill-fitting riding position. He gave me excellent insight into why i was injured in the first place, redid my bike fit, and also gave me a training plan to get over my injury. He was really clear and patient with all of his explanations and the goal was to get me riding again, in a sustainable way for my body. Overall a great experience and will be following up for pedal mechanics etc in the future.

Peter Z. Coach Brinton is the real deal – he takes great care to make sure your bike fit is perfectly suited to your body, and he spends time talking about how each measurement and adjustment will affect your riding and posture. He taught me so many ways to increase my efficiency as a rider, including pedaling procedures, way to approach hills to conserve energy and work on my cadence, and he walked me through even levels of sports nutrition that were super helpful for me.

But more than that, he provided me with enormous confidence on how to approach cycling as an amateur rider. I just completed a 550-mile trek, and Coach Brinton’s bike fit was so perfectly tailored to my body that I had no pain, no knee issues, no hand numbness – it was a miracle, honestly! In the past, I’ve suffered many physical pains from this ride, but after my professional bike fit with Coach Brinton, I was more than good to go.

Cycling Coach Brinton is an expert in bike fitting, and I couldn’t recommend him any more. I will continue to go back to him for help in fit adjustments, and send all my friends to him!

R M. Coach Brinton is a true professional. Before I came to him my wrist/back/knees were hurting! Turns out my bike was just fitted poorly as the reach was too far. I was extremely impressed with the fitting process and his knowledge. During the fitting you can see your power/watts increase as adjustments are made.

I’ve got tendonitis in both of my knees and my major concern is to be able to do long rides forever!

What I like the most is that he’s had years of experience and he’s integrating that into his judgment calls. I trust someone who says “I have seen this over and over again and here’s how it usually works…” than some young person who’s just going by the book. He’s also concerned with safety v. the young muscle heads who just want to make you fast. If you’re into cycling for the long haul in your life, it would be helpful to do some sessions with Coach B.

Sara C. He can do everything — fitting, competition, knee rehab, efficiency, safety, parts, etc. It’s awesome to know he can tackle anything that comes up. I don’t want to have to run all over town to get comprehensive cycling advice.

Ernest P. Coach David is a knowledgeable, focused, and precise bike fitter. After the fitting, my back pain has dissipated on long bike ride. He provided useful biking techniques getting out of saddle control, using clipless (first time), and covered street safety elements. I noticed my improvements immediately after the first session. From my perspective, David is extremely encouraging and passionate about his profession of cycling. My goal is to prepare and complete a century ride!!!

Bryan M. Cycling Coach Brinton did a great job to get me back on the bike after I had a case of patellar tendonitis from overriding on my new MTB. The professional bike fitting ensured that my bike set-up was optimized to minimize knee stress. The quality time he spent with me running through various options to improve pedaling efficiency will go a long way to ensuring sustained knee health moving forward. I have had other bike fits in the past and this one was by far the most personal and educational. I highly recommend Coach Brinton to keep you healthy and active on the bike for years to come.

Daniel V. Coach Brinton helped me with a bike fit due to excessive back pain. Another fitter had recommended a smaller frame but Coach Brinton observed me, went the opposite, and stretched me out into a more aggressive position. I felt better almost instantly and have had significantly less issues since. In addition, he took me out for a short ride to evaluate the fit and provide me with some basic skills tips. He was extremely patient and detailed. I would highly recommend him to others for bike ft and coaching advice.

Kelly M. So I started cycling more regularly this summer and I really enjoy riding but I started having this knee pain all the time. When I was done riding my knees would ache and I felt like I had arthritis when sitting down and standing up. This was becoming so frustrating to me. Other people I was riding with said you look fine, maybe it’s just your joints, maybe you need to not ride as much. I was messing around with seat height and some things on my bike myself but nothing was helping and I just felt like something was wrong. It was also hard because a lot of people I’ve talked to that ride have not experienced knee pain, but the few who did recommended getting a professional bike fitting. I started looking online and found Coach Brinton’s website, and decided to go for it and make an appointment. Wow. He was so nice and spent a little over 3 hours with me talking about some causes and making adjustments to my bike. And there were a lot of adjustments. I can’t believe how off my bike was and how completely different it feels now. I’m hopeful that this will solve my knee problems and that the pain will be completely gone soon. Coach Brinton is also extremely patient and helpful, and I now realize there’s so much more to cycling than just getting on the bike and pedaling, so I will be signing up for Coach Brinton’s cycling coaching sessions as well to help me become a better rider and I can’t wait!

Rory P. I had what I thought was a proper (and expensive) bike fitting a few years ago. In the past few months, I had developed irritation of my Achilles tendon which I traced to my cycling. On a whim I searched for the best bike fitters in Los Angeles and came upon Coach David. His bio spoke to me. After meeting Coach David, not only did his bio speak to me, but our in-person fitting session more than complimented his bio. From the beginning of our fitting our communication and understanding of the issues I’ve been having and the then fit of my bike were in alignment. His diagnosis and proposed corrections aligned with the issues I was having with Achilles and other issues. The fitting session was enjoyable and rewarding. I have only been on one ride since the fitting, but immediately had improvement on my speed and efficiency without pushing it. It was a fun ride, and it was so nice to feel that my positioning on the bike was so right! Coach David also made other recommendations for improved components for my bike. Rome was not built in a day, but I look forward to these upgrades so that I can take full advantage of his sage advice. If you need a truly proper bike fitting Coach David is the ticket.

Dennis S. My bike fitting session with Coach Brinton (David) about 2 mos. ago was excellent! I was experiencing some nagging knee pain and lower back fatigue. I also was hitting a wall at +40-mile rides where my quads would be completely fried even though my glutes and hamstrings felt relatively untaxed. David was kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. He did an incredibly thorough evaluation of my position on the bike and measuring the existing orientation and geometry of the various components. After making numerous adjustments to the height and position of my seat, handle bars, shift/brake location on the handle bars, and checking my cleat position and foot and knee alignment, I am now riding without the knee pain or lower back fatigue. David also provided a very detailed report that captures all of new measurements of the various components for future reference. I have yet to do a 40-mile ride due to a recent Injury but will aim to update this review with more information once I have some longer-distance reps under my belt. But, so far, everything feels amazing and I feel like I’m able to generate 20% or more power with no additional effort. Thank you David!!

Sam K. I had my first fit with David in 2019. He solved ALL of my problems (groin pain, wrist numbness, knee pain) on my Cervelo S5. He helped me enjoy riding again. When that bike was stolen, I was more upset about losing the perfect fit than the actual bike itself! I made another appointment with David for a fit on my new gravel bike. Had a great session this morning. Again, David got everything perfectly dialed for me. I won’t ride a bike that David hasn’t fit for me. Anyone – even a casual cyclist – can really benefit from his help. David is also a great guy – professional, easy to talk to, and very honest. He won’t upsell you on parts and will try and make your fit work with what you have. I can’t recommend him more highly.

Meekrobe M. Let me say everything was as I expected. I got a road bike and mtn bike dialed in by coach Brinton. My road bike is 13 years old and got it dialed in after have some pain riding. I was refered to David and let  me say after tweeking the bike, it made a world of a difference. Coach was detailed and meticulous about all the angles. And it made a world of a difference. After getting my bike fitted, I did a 3 day 300 mile ride and no pain. I rode like it was tour de France.

Michael S. Coach Brinton was very thorough during the fitting and made sure to explain each of the adjustments to me. Following the bike fit, I feel a lot more stable on the bike and I no longer experience wrist pain and tingling in my fingers. Coach Brinton also fixed other problems with my fit that I was not aware of: my cleats were not adjusted properly, and my stance was too narrow (he put washers on the pedal spindle to move the pedals farther from the cranks).

Ed P. If you are looking for a bike fitter to address any issues/discomfort you are having on your bike contact Coach Brinton right away! I had a bike fit with Coach Brinton to address the many issues I was having on my bike (numb hands, sore butt and numb toes). The bike fitting session was thorough and Coach Brinton answered my all of my questions and provided valuable feedback/advice that has made my rides that much more enjoyable! I now routinely ride 2-3 hours on my road bike without any of the issues I was previously having! I’ll definitely come to him again when I purchase my next road bike!

Ryan R. Setting up the bike fit appointment was very easy as Coach Brinton was quick to respond and set up an appointment on short notice. David was tremendously helpful throughout the bike fit session, providing many tips and knowledge on optimizing the bike fit, cycling performance and posture, and other fine details that I wouldn’t have normally thought about before the bike fitting. He even provided pointers on general fitness and weight lifting form to help prevent injuries off the bike.

I had no idea my bike dimensions were far out of wack, which was likely contributing to ongoing knee pain. David helped set me up right, making sure saddle height, angle, cleats position, and every other adjustable section of my bike & shoes were set up optimally up to the millimeter.
Looking forward to more riding now that my measurements are all corrected!

Randy S. I am preparing for a long distance ride to benefit a charity in 2024.  My first training rides resulted in back pain.  I contacted Coach Brinton to schedule a bike fit, and we were able to meet a few days later.  Coach Brinton took the time to understand my level of experience, as well as my goal to reduce my pain with the bike fit.  The detailed process coordinated my current cycling abilities to the perfect fit settings.  Coach Brinton even offered tips on avoiding pain during my rides.

I have been on several longer training rides after the bike fit.  It made a world of difference.  I am riding stronger and pain free.  I recommend Coach Brinton to anyone in need of a bike fit.

Paul N. Great experience with Coach Brinton. Super professional, extremely knowledgeable. Was having knee problems with my new bike and turned out the fit was causing a heavy load on my patella. Got the bike dialed in now and am back on track with a perfectly fit bike. Will be going back for further pedal evaluation and probably more coaching very soon!

Daniel N. Coach Brinton gave me by far the best fit I’ve ever had on a bike. I feel great, and it actually helped take away a lot of pain points I was having on the bike. On top of being very professional, he handled the fitting in a very safe and sanitary way and we kept solid social distancing. Highly recommend!

Jonathan S. I first came to Cycling Coach Brinton for a bike fitting but soon realized he had a lot more to offer. Not only has his fitting eliminated back and calf pain, but in the few sessions I’ve had, he’s managed to make my pedal stroke a great deal more efficient. I’m looking forward to many more regular sessions and through his extensive knowledge, encouragement and direction, becoming a much better cyclist.

Roman T. — “Coach Brinton noticed flaws in my riding posture and immediately helped me correct it. I asked a lot of questions and he took the time and care to explain things to me in a way that was easy to understand. My bike fit was very educational and I got a lot out of it. I feel much more confident and stronger. Highly recommended.”

Paula F. — “The fitting was thorough and informative. He took the time to explain everything he did and why. He asked appropriate questions to make adjustments to my needs. He even evaluated my riding style and made suggestions. At the end of my fitting, he gave me a sheet with measurement information and suggestions. Coach Brinton is an experienced rider who understands bikes, bike issues and injuries. He was personable and easy to talk to.”

Renard T. My journey into serious cycling started after a doctor’s recommendation to focus on exercising. My wife and I decided to invest in quality bikes, and understanding the importance of a proper bike fit, I began my search for the best in the area. Coach Brinton consistently stood out in my research, and after a few phone calls with various fitters, his expertise and professionalism won me over. I can’t emphasize enough how pleased we are with the information and recommendations provided by Coach Brinton. Well worth what we paid, I would say it’s a bargain for all the benefits we experienced. If you’re looking for a top-notch bike fit experience, I highly recommend John Brinton for anything bike-fit-related. His professionalism, intelligence, and genuine concern for your cycling goals make him stand out in the field. Thanks, Coach Brinton, for elevating our cycling journey!

Robb P. David was amazing and not only was an extreme expert, he actually cared and was so passionate about what he did. I spent a couple of hours with him and he didn’t stop until everything was perfect – Unbelievable experience and value.

Angelina F. I had little success with the many other fitters I have tried to the point I did not want to get back on the bike. I felt that no matter how many re-fits I had I could not get comfortable on the bike. He took so much time and care with measurements. I felt very important and heard throughout the process. I left feeling renewed and wanting to ride again. Who knew that bike fit like this would be all it took to light the fire again. I hope to keep growing and will most certainly be back for any of my cycling needs. I will for sure recommend him to anyone that asks me about bike fittings. He truly went above any of my expectations. So kind and attentive to anything I brought up.

Kevin O. I used to ride competitively and have taken up cycling after many years off and sought out getting a bike fit for injury prevention and knowing a proper fit would help increase my power output. I’ve been fit quite a few times over the years and this was the best experince I have ever had. Coach Brinton first finds out what your riding history is and riding goals are. He is very systematic and thorough and his vast knowledge of cycling just oozes out of him.
I took things a bit further with Cycling Coach Brinton and we have worked on some cycling skills and training. If you ride and train with Coach Brinton you will become a better and stronger cycist. I had many years of riding under my belt and am learning things that have an immediate impact on my performance.
Lastly, our modern world where personal relationships seem to be less important Coach Brinton is a genuinely great guy who does care about his clients and takes every bike fit and training ride seriously and strives to do the best he can. Also, whether you are s competiitve cyclist or a casual rider when you enter Cycling Coach Brinton’s studio and see the World Championship Jerseys and medals you know you are the presence of greatness and have found somebody who can help you improve.

Esau Z. I am Deaf cyclist. I have had a hard time finding people that are willing to adapt and work with me. When I first arrived Coach Brinton’s shop, I let him know that I am Deaf, he welcomed me with a big smile and immediately accommodated the whole bike fitting experience for me.
He used speak-to-text feature to explain me everything. He didn’t leave a detail behind. After learning so much and having my bike adjusted, he really made my bike so much comfortable for me than how it was.

due to some old injuries my chiropractor suggested I get a professional bike fitting, to make it even more comfortable.

Not knowing anything about bike fitting, I googled it and found Coach Brinton. As first I was intimidated because I’m not a competitive cyclist, I’m just an average person. However, he had good reviews, so I took a chance.

Sarah P. Coach Brinton was very warm from the first email and never made me feel like I didn’t belong there, getting a bike fitting. He listened to my concerns and spent a couple hours with me, going over all the mechanics of my riding, as well as fitting the bike. I know that if I ever need assistance in the future, his door is open and I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to him again.

John G. I am mid 50s, A bit overweight, and a very average rider.

I found Coach on the web when I was looking for a good bike fitting. I have always been a bit wary of bike fit guys at the local shop who do not have a lot of accomplishment in their background as they may be helping me out of a textbook rather than their experience.

Coach certainly has plenty of experience in cycling and cycling coaching, just read his bio. We spent a couple hours talking, fitting the bike, discussing various issues, and riding together all for a price about the same or a bit lower than my local shop. The best part is the detailed fitting sheet I now have so I can set up future bikes the same way my bike is currently set up.

One ride after the fitting I am more comfortable, I feel more efficient as I ride, and my commute time to work is slightly better than it has been in the past. It is amazing what a centimeter here and there will do to change how your bike feels.

If you are looking for a good fitting and a good cycling coach, you will be happy with Coach Brinton.

Parker L. Coach David is not only a genuinely good person, he’s also a VERY experienced bike rider/stunt man. He has great command over riding a bike and he also has a great command of being able to explain how to be a better/faster/safer bike rider. He’s able to mimic what you are doing wrong, so it’s like looking in the mirror. His method allows you to fix your posture and how to correct yourself. If you need a bike fit or want to improve your experience on a bike, then you need coach David in your life.

Argin H. Coach Brinton is very knowledgeable and takes his time with his clientele. He is very patient and thorough and wants to get to the root cause of your issues and pain points. Although he doesn’t use any fancy computers to do his bike fits, his methods are proven and it’s apparent after going on a few rides after our session. He even takes the time to follow up with you a few days post-fit to make sure the changes he has made have had a positive impact on your performance and comfort.

Steve C. I was having serious neck and shoulder issues while riding and went to Coach Brinton for a bike fit. During my first call, he spent a lot of time with me on the phone, provided much information and fielded all of my questions. His enthusiasm for cycling and cycling education was readily apparent during this first call.
—————–
At my bike fit, Coach Brinton was extremely generous with his time and not only adjusted all aspects of my bike and shoes, but also provided important feedback on my riding posture and proper pedal strokes.

I was so pleased with the personal attention I received at my bike fit that I scheduled a training ride with CB to work on some seemingly basic skills that made me realize that these were areas in which I needed improvement. CB worked with me to raise my comfort level when riding in difficult situations (car doors opening, making tight u-turns, focusing on my balance with my non-dominant side with one shoe unclipped, how to handle other dangerous traffic situations while riding).

I’ve been riding for about 3 years and realized that a proper bike fit and some riding tips from an experienced and decorated professional racer were exactly what I needed. I will be back for more training and riding tips from CB. His enthusiasm for cycling and cycling safety is contagious.

Ed P. I had the opportunity to visit David for a comprehensive bike fit for my brand new bike yesterday. This guy is very experienced and explained every reason for each adjustment on and off the bike… right now the bike feels super awesome. With just a few tweaks made me feel more comfortable, more confident, and now I know my ideal measurement’s. I also got recommendation for upgrades that would make me most efficient and how to best work on my pedaling technique. He is also a skills coach so he is a wealth on information and very friendly too. I highly recommend him!

Donald W. It was a pleasure to meet with Dave, he corrected all the issues I was experiencing as a new cyclist and answered all my naive questions. He was very patient and detailed during my bike fitting. I would recommend Dave to all new and experienced cyclists. I am looking forward to scheduling additional sessions with Dave to enhance my cycling IQ.

Chris H. When I bought my latest bike, I knew I wanted it to be tailored perfectly to my needs. That’s when I met Coach Brinton, a highly respected figure in the cycling community. From the moment we met, he showed a genuine interest in getting to know me as a cyclist and understanding my goals. With his unparalleled expertise and guidance, he helped me reach my full potential by carefully adjusting every part of the bike to fit me perfectly. Throughout the process, Coach Brinton’s unwavering dedication and infectious smile made every step feel like a shared victory. His eagle-eyed attention to detail helped me identify even the slightest issues that could improve my cycling performance. When I first sat on the saddle of my bicycle after Coach Brinton’s magical touch, the difference was like night and day. Thanks to him, I had an unforgettable experience that has left me more passionate about cycling than ever before.

Andrew B. I am an avid rider / who gets interrupted by a busy work schedule … thus experiencing some hard comebacks … a bike fitting by a professional was highly recommended to insure proper alignment and improve structural integrity while riding…
and thats exactly what Coach Brinton did …. reliable source and easy to talk to … he was immediately able to put me where i need to be on my bicycle … based on where and how i ride … i highly recommend a visit … he has instincts and passion .. two important values to make riding a better place ..
he uses modern equipment along w his years of experience and knowledge of the medium …

if you are in Los Angeles , go see Coach Brinton .. he not only knows geometry and form , he knows where you ride …

i just did my first ride …

up Westridge Gravel  …

and 5 immediate things come to mind from my fitting

1)confidence level high knowing he put knowledge into my symmetry

2)seat position is so perfect / the body never once looked for an alternative position
and maintained extreme comfort whole time

3) no left foot numbing  and no neck strain either

4) improvement in banking turns during descent as well/ i am now positioned so i remain comfortable on the saddle w no need to adjust during my descent

5) less fatigue climbing due to mental awarenes of peddle stroke and knee over foot alignments
(steady peddling w no swooping-on the downstrokes)

Raffi B. I had a comprehensive bike fit with Coach Brinton and the difference has been night and day! The changes were immediately noticeable and probably the best money I’ve spent in cycling for the performance increase.

David is a true professional with a genuine love for the sport. He’s a source of incredible knowledge and experience; I’m fortunate to have been referred to his services and will definitely meet with him for future bikes/accessories.

Jeremy R. I have had a few bike fittings in the past but nothing quite like Cycling Coach Brinton’s bike fitting. Just within a few moments of meeting coach Britain, I knew I found the right person. His attention to detail his insight, knowledge and the way he went about educating me and explaining  why he was making certain changes made me feel extremely comfortable.  After my first ride I had no pain in my knees and felt  like I could have gone another 50 miles without stopping. Coach Brinton did tell me I was wearing  one size shoe too big. ( I have since corrected that issue). If you’re looking to increase your skills, safety knowledge, speed or just want to get more comfortable on the bike Coach Brinton is the Coach for you.

Leah B. When you want to learn how to do something you want to learn from the best. David Brinton is your man. This guy has lived a life of cycling and has competed at the highest levels of the sport, yet he treats you as a peer, with patience and without the slightest bit of condescending attitudes. Particularly as a woman who doesn’t have he body type of a typical cyclist, that meant a lot to me. I came to him for a bike fit, I will be returning for some pro tips. Very grateful to have found him.

Steve C. I was having serious neck and shoulder issues while riding and went to Coach Brinton for a bike fit.  During my first call, he spent a lot of time with me on the phone, provided much information and fielded all of my questions.  His enthusiasm for cycling and cycling education was readily apparent during this first call.

At my bike fit, Coach Brinton was extremely generous with his time and not only adjusted all aspects of my bike and shoes, but also provided important feedback on my riding posture and proper pedal strokes.

I was so pleased with the personal attention I received at my bike fit that I scheduled a training ride with CB to work on some seemingly basic skills that made me realize that these were areas in which I needed improvement.  CB worked with me to raise my comfort level when riding in difficult situations (car doors opening, making tight u-turns, focusing on my balance with my non-dominant side with one shoe unclipped, how to handle other dangerous traffic situations while riding).

Marc W. If you want to take your road biking skills to the next level, sign up for Coach Brinton’s “Fast-Start” four hour program.  For the cost of a high-end bike fitting at a retail store, You get a comprehensive bike fit with a USA Cycling – Level 1 Coach, Ex U.S. Olympic Team Rider, 4x World Champion and 3x World Record Holder instead of a young kid who passed a training test on how to fit someone on a bike. (Note, a centimeter can make a huge difference in peddling power and body position on a road bike.  My seat was almost 1 1/2 inches to low or over 3.5 centimeters!)  You also get 3 hours of personal bike skills information that you will never get reading a book or watching Youtube videos.  Besides getting basic riding skills, you’ll also get a preview of what the Pro bike riders are doing when they are training and racing across the world.  You may think you know how to peddle correctly when you meet Coach Brinton but by the time you leave his first season, you’re given a glimpse of what your future can be.  For example, I’ve been riding seriously for 1 year and ride at least 120 miles per week.  My cadence average was 82 when I had my first season.  I left peddling at 90 rpm in a lower easier gear but actually going faster with less effort.  My power reading jumped from 230 watts up to 235 after practicing the new peddling technique for a week.  After I saw that quick improvement, I decided to sign up for a few more sessions with Coach Brinton.. I’ve now had three more sessions and gained another 10 watts of power to 245 watts just by learning more technique.  I am not training any longer/harder or doing any special training regime yet.  The new training plan comes next and I can’t wait to see the improvement I can attain in the next few months!
By the way, Brinton is easy going, funny and will always make sure that you’re riding in the safest manner possible!

D R. Coach Brinton is awesome! I recently purchased a new bike for a 500 mile charity ride. As a former triathlete I understand how important bike fitting is for any level rider and how critical it would be for a ride of this length. Coach Brinton not only was very thorough at every stage of the process he also took the time to explain what he was trying to achieve. As a bonus he gave me tips on position, nutrition and strategy that proved to be a major breakthrough in my training!

Michael H. If you’re an enthusiastic beginner wanting to take your game to the next level I absolutely recommend Coach Brinton!  Not only will you get an expertly dialed in fit, but CB will evaluate any problems you may be having and make precise adjustments and recommendations accordingly.  Furthermore, his approach of educating his clients for the long run really makes his sessions a valuable learning experience.  I undoubtedly walked away from our session not only with greater comfort on the bike, but feeling more informed in multiple areas of the sport than ever before.  There’s no substitute for a professional with the years and kinds of experience he has!  Thank you Coach Brinton!

Dr. PJ P. I’ve been biking for a few years now, i had a couple of “Fitting” done and felt OK and was used to it and just doing my routine “biking”. Having a “few” bikes of different Brand and Geometry,  it came to a point that i want to build a “Custom Bike.”(it will be my last bike!)
I want to share my experience after i found Coach David Brinton to help me with my new “fitting” and “building my custom bike!” Reading the articles/testimonials/services especially his Experiences and Expertise on his web page, i knew my Concerns will be addressed by the “Right” person. I called and left a message for an appointment and he Promptly returned my call and set-up my initial appointment.
We started with process and he shared a “few” tips on biking that were essential to my style of riding. The fitting went well with his Recommendations and i felt skeptical at first ( longer stem, saddle height, longer reach ) , but, it FELT good on my back, knee and most- my Posture looks great!
I tried my new measurements riding on Flats, Climbs , Sprints and standing more confident,  – i hade minor issues at first then gradually disappeared . Went back for my second session to assess my developments and to finalize the measurements on my Custom bike. What impressed me is, when he spent the TIME to talk to my bike builder personally and “fine-tuned” ALL the “numbers” for my custom bike! It didn’t stop their because i had some concerns too which he unconditionally answered thru email and phone calls- that is Customer SERVICE at its BEST !
To me , $ well spent !!!
My bike is in the process of being build and it will take 3 months ( a Customized SPEEDVAGEN ), and i think coach David is more excited than me .
I’m looking forward on my next session going for a ride with Coach David . This is to improve on my pedal skills, form etc…, and possible small tweaks here and there to ADD 1-2 MPH more on my speed
I know its a “long” Testimonial BUT its worth Sharing
Coach David – Thank you !!!

Angie M. Cycling Coach Brinton is a great teacher!  I took his FAST-Start program this past Saturday. I am (or should I say was) a novice rider.  In the four hour program he made sure my bike was a better fit, taught me how to clip in and out of pedals more effectively while riding so I won’t fall, as well as riding techniques for more safety on the street.  Although he packed a serious amount of information in those few hours, I was constantly impressed that he was very patient and funny.  He reworked explanations until I understood and interjected a great sense of humor so that the time seemed to fly by.  I thought I was just going to do that one session to learn a bit and be on my way. Not anymore, I’ve got a cycling coach now!  I’m looking forward to my next session and in the future as he helps me get ready to do a big cycling event!  Book an appointment with him, you will only get better!! (also some good copy for Skills)
