The Master Bike Fitters Association (MBFA) has added Chicago based Get a Grip Cycles as its newest member dealer.
A number of the worlds’ leading bike fit specialists joined together in November 2008 to establish MBFA, an association for professional bike-fitting practitioners and businesses.
MBFA is an independent organisation comprised of manufacturers, media, educators and independent retailers in the cycling industry. Any bicycle dealer who meets MBFA Uniform Dealer Standards, and is in good financial standing with MBFA, may become a listed dealer member.
Get a Grip Cycles joins the original six founding members of MBFA that are based in the US and UK:
CycleFit
Fit Werx
PK Cycling
Pro Peloton
Signature Cycles
Sports Garage
According to MBFA’s website: ‘MBFA encourages the cycling industry to strive for improved levels of education, professionalism, service and quality. By setting reliable and measurable standards, and providing recognition to dealers who have met these standards, more consumers receive better bicycle fits and make more informed and confident buying decisions. This improves the consistency of bicycle fitting and the level of product satisfaction being provided to cyclists in general by encouraging more dealers to invest in their equipment, employees and education in order to achieve MBFA certification.’
